Mold in the bathroom: it's every homeowner's worst nightmare, but it's surprisingly common. Why does mold love bathrooms so much? And how can you clean it up on your own?

What Are Some Tips for Cleaning Bathroom Mold?

Like many homeowners, you have some mold in your bathroom. What can you do to fight it?

• First, remove the source of the moisture. Re-seal your tub, fix any leaks, and open windows or dehumidify the space. If you don't fix the moisture issue, mold will grow back.
• Then, make sure you are wearing protective gear. Mold spores can irritate your eyes, nose, throat, and lungs. Wear a mask and gloves when you're cleaning mold.
• Next, you can scrub the mold off the wall, tile, floors or ceiling with detergents or specialized mold cleaners. Vinegar can be helpful when cleaning drywall.
• If there are any surfaces you can't thoroughly clean, like carpets, you might need to replace a small section to remove the mold.

When DIY Isn't Enough

When should you think about calling a mold professional? Here are some signs it's time to get help.

• You can smell mold a few days after cleaning it.
• Your mold keeps coming back.
• You've had significant water damage, like a flood.

These are all signs that your mold is deep behind your walls, or that more might grow without help. Mold remediation professionals can help you fix significant mold and water damage and keep your home safe from mold.
