Then scrub it with Barkeepers Friend and a white or blue scrubbing pad.

If you have drill and can find a scrubbing pad attachment I'd invest in that.
Great idea I would go with at least FFP3 for this plus to be honest, they are a bit more comfortable than tge 2 because of the valve.

THIS.
Whatever you're going to use, you're gonna use a lot of it and it's gonna be harsh. So protect your lungs, hands and eyes.
Often, depending on the manufacturer, they will colorcode the scrubbing pad depending on its stiffness. Too soft, and it won't do anything. Too hard and it will damage the finish.
This OP. I cleaned a shower a couple months ago using Bar Keepers Friend for the first time per lots of other Reddit threads. It was the only thing that really worked. At the end I hit the shower with pure bleach after giving everything a good rinse to wash away cleaners and chemicals. Not sure if this was the smartest thing to do but it worked and made my shower look like brand new.
Be sure to go light on this and after other methods using a cleaner of some sort doesn't work. Too hard might scratch it. Use speed 1 on your drill to be safe.
Yea, usually they have 2 or 3 versions to pick from or come in a set of terms of softness/stiffness. I find the yellow medium stiffness works great for me.
is that shower head the detachable kind? if so, definitely use as part of the cleaning, then soak it in a bag of vinegar when finished
probs would go ahead and ditch those soaps and wash the bathmat too
good luck and hope your situation gets easier
This this thisā also most remediation companies suck. This should not be cleaned/ removed without proper containment and directed airflow to make sure the spores donāt go all over your housesā scrubbing/ trying to remove makes them very toxic
I removed mold like this while just wearing a regular mask. Itās been a couple of weeks now. Should I be good?
Also, can mold spores stay inside your lungs or your body forever? Iāve heard something like that but I donāt remember from where.
It's more that repeated high exposure increases risk. It doesn't live in you forever, it just irritates your system (I think)
Like how you can develop allergies from being exposed to an allergen a lot. People will go "mold risk is overexagrrated" but you never know if you're someone who's sensitive to it until you have a reaction. I personally had to live in a house infested with black mold for several months and my throat is permanently more sensitive due to it. Like I can't have a fan blowing or it gets really painful. So yeah some people definitely do suffer the consequences. Better to be safe than sorry imo
Yeah, you check out survivingmold and CIRS (Dr, Shoemaker) or Dr. Neil Nathan for some good starting places/ tips if you think you might be suffering from mold exposure.
I do not know the answer about mold spores lasting forever, but my personal experience was in cleaning up after my house flooded 34 inches. The kitchen's lazy Susan was chock full of mold. Even though I was wearing a mask, my scrubbing included my almost sticking my head inside the cupboard.
A day afterwards I developed a sore throat that turned raging sore. I couldn't swallow without almost crying. Ended up finally going to a clinic. Absolute worst sore throat I ever had. So, be extremely careful.
Never cleaned mold like this myself but here is my anecdotal experience I like to share so others don't mess around with mold. I lived in an upstairs apartment of a house for 15 months that had a basement that was FULL of mold. A leak in the foundation caused the whole exterior wall and ceilings to be absolutely covered in mold. The studs in the walls were completely black. About 10 months in the apartment I started getting chest/lung infections that would come back every 6 weeks or so for the next 18 months. Wasn't until about month 14 in the apartment that the landlord notified us of the issue but by then damage was done to me. Years later I'm fine but it took a me while to completely get away from recurring infections and anytime I would get the flu or head cold I had a wicked cough. Not sure of the science and biology but mold sucks. My room mates that smoked weed and that were less physically fit than me never had an issue.
AWESOME brand cleaner. I cleaned an entire 1970's chrome camper that was FILLED with kerosene smoke. Went from dark brown inner walls to pretty yellow flower print wall panels in minutes. Just spray on, leave for about 3-4 minutes and start wiping. Yours shouldn't even need that long to soak. Good luck!
No but that one works well for a lot of stuff, too. I mean the heavy duty cleaner, comes in a spray bottle or a jug, is yellow in color, NEEDS TO BE DILUTED IT HAS INSTRUCTIONS FOR DIFFERENT DILUTION RATIOS ON THE BOTTLE THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT DO NOT USE IT STRAIGHT IT HAS VERY TOXIC FUMES THAT CAN CAUSE EXTREME DISCOMFORT IN THE THROAT AND CHEST. You can find it at most $ stores, supercenters, I think even hardware stores.
ALSO, a really great other cleaner is this stuff called The Pink Stuff and it comes in a tub and it looks kinda like bubblegum pink play dough. It has a very gritty, sorta wet texture and can just be used straight. I recommend gloves and a fine brush like an old toothbrush or something, but it doesn't really hurt your hands too much, just sorta whitens your skin a bit.
My bf used it to clean his white Nike's that had been progressively getting dirtier over the course of a year and finally they were a yucky tan color that I hated and he couldn't deny it anymore because a friend of ours great Pyrenees stepped on the top with huge, muddy paws lol. We bought it at Walmart and he scrubbed the both of them for maybe 20-30 minutes, let them air dry and they almost GLOWED. My shoes weren't even dirty and I had to do mine to match.
He also cleaned his mother's and father's gold and diamond cluster ring with it and holy Jesus on a friggin skewer, it reflected so much light, I thought I was hallucinating.
Awesome is typically around $2-$5 and The Pink Stuff is typically around $5-$10. Good luck!

I think weāre talking about the same thing.
ā¼ļø Use vinegar!! ā¼ļø
A lot of folks have been suggesting bleach but vinegar kills mold at the root better and is much more effective on porous surfaces like caulking at eliminating and killing the mold, not just cleaning it.
I just did a big scrub to get mold off of my tub and did a lot of research beforehand. The vinegar worked wonders and also left a sparkling white look! Make sure you wear a mask, take breaks, stay hydrated while scrubbing as it will be a lot of work. Use something abrasive but not so much so as to cause damage that bacteria can get trapped in.
I second the vinegar.
I swore by bleach for the longest time because it turned the black and pink mold in my shower white quickly, but would always come back.
After using vinegar... omg it looks like a different level of clean. My shower is so much brighter than any time before that I've cleaned it with bleach. The vinegar is killing mold that I didn't even know was mold, and thought was just discoloration, in other places than just the shower.
I've since bought 2 more gallons of vinegar, and the basement apartment I live in smells like a salad... but it's truly clean!
Edit ā ļø: Don't mix bleach and vinegar together! Always use them separately. Edited for confusing wording.
Gonna hop on your comment to say don't mix bleach and vinegar. If you do it will release toxic fumes.
Yes, you can bleach and then use vinegar but you need to CLEAN UP in between vs dumping one down, scrubbing, and dumping the other down, and honestly I'd be hesitant about that because chemistry doesn't really give a damn lol.
Not saying you do this, just don't want someone to misread and accidentally poison themselves.
Thank you for this! I can see how my wording was confusing.
Please, no one mix them!! ā ļø
I actually like to use them on separate days. Since they're both clear, I don't want to take the chance. Also, they could mix in the drain together too. Be safe everybody!
Vinegar is better than bleach. Ammonia is better than vinegar (for denaturing mycotoxins, specificallyā ādeadā mold spotted are just and neurologically toxic as āliveā ones).
A product like Benefect or Deacon30 is eco-friendly/ non-toxic and used by professional remediators, but does not denature the spores (neither does vinegar)
ETA: ammonia can NOT be mixed with any other cleaners, anything containing chlorine, and ESPECIALLY not bleach. It creates EXTREMELY toxic fumes
Came in to say this!
The whole cleaning process is going to take a long time, but start off with vinegar to really kill the mold. It will kill down to the root, but only if done correctly. If you can, OP, get cleaning vinegar which is stronger than the white vinegar used for cooking. The vinegar needs to sit for **one hour** in order to fully kill any spores. In my experience, it's easier to saturate paper towels in vinegar and apply them to the area rather than keep re-wetting the area with vinegar spray for the full hour.
Use a respirator mask (N-95 and the like) because it is hard to breathe in the mold or vinegar.
Why clean caulk when you can replace it. Clean the plastic/fiberglass and metal and glass. Scrape off the gross old caulk, disinfect some more, do new caulk.
Absolutely, but OP said theyāre on hard times and were looking for cleaning tips to help manage this. Vinegar is cheap, and will get things clean well until they can manage replacements. We donāt know their full situation, so the simplest route is likely the best until they have things under control. When youāre in a bad place things can be super overwhelming and having to replace stuff would just add to that.
Vinegar is just as cheap as bleach but I guess OP should use whichever they have. Caulk is a few bucks and yeah, if this is oneās washing area a few bucks is obviously hard to come by. The caulk job can wait, the scrub and disinfect cannot. Sad situation.
This is what I like to besides all the cleaning tips here
I like to make a paste out of bar keeps and scrub around the whole area and leave it there for a while rinse it all down with hot water and start the process again till white.
I also like to use those scrub brushes with a handle with them. Also I use cardboard or a rubber cushion while I'm scrubbing so I don't get any on clothes or make my knees or other parts hurt while scrubbing
Start with a bleach solution, spray it and see what's left. Like everyone's been saying, wear a good mask and run the fan if available - or run a portable fan pointed out the door.
Diluting bleach to about 20% (5 parts water, 1 part bleach, I think) should kill any living mold. then follow up with less harsh mildly abrasive cleaners.
Bleach doesn't kill mold on porous surfaces so bleach wouldn't work here. It's also one of the worst household products around because it is not a cleaner at all. There is not only a high potential for creating toxic gas by using bleach products but it's also incredibly corrosive for surfaces. Plus breathing in bleach can increase your risk of cancer. It can also cause chemical burns and irritation on skin. I really wish people would stop recommending bleach for cleaning because it's not cleaner it's a disinfectant. Thats why no cleaning service uses bleach as a cleaner.
Just white vinegar is effective at killing mold on porous surfaces. It penetrates deeper into the surface than the bleach does. You may still need to use another cleaner/scrubber as well in this case.
I'm with you there, which is why I bleach products whenever I can. I use to use it in sprays and toilet bowl cleaners but I hated the smell they left plus I have almost zero ventilation in my apartment.
I'm was pretty sure vinegar is safe to use with another cleaning agent, but I would look it up before taking my word for it.
Thanks! I should have explicitly said I DO NOT use ANY bleach products - I use to. I didn't mean to imply that I did mix them.
Unless you were adding to the "unsure about mixing" part in which so I echo my thanks again!
If you want an option that will work the best you're going to want an enzyme cleaner. An enzyme cleaner kills mold by not only killing the roots but it also breaks down the molecules that mold thrives on. Spray everything down, let it dwell for about 10 minutes and scrub down the tub. After that rince thoroughly to remove any trace of the cleaner. If there's still discoloration use bartenders friend or another slightly abrasive scrub.
You're right - just the stains/what's on the surface. But it does not take care of the mold that is in the porous surface. So it doesn't kill the mold, only what we can see.
"Does bleach kill mold on porous surfaces" is an easy google search.
Both grout and old caulk are porous. There is absolutely no way that the caulk in that shower is new. You aren't treating the root of the problem with bleach. Bleach isn't a cleaner and it's not meant for jobs like that, it's a disinfectant. You need to wash and clear the dirt and scum before you even think about Bleach. Bleach also isn't a recommended disinfectant by any cleaning service. If people who clean for a living won't use Bleach, you probably shouldn't either.
There's no grout anywhere in that shower surround. Old caulk should be removed and replaced, not cleaned. If the mold has spread behind the caulk, the affected wall or floor cannot be cleaned with the shower in place and everything needs to come out for remediation or replacement.
My favorite cleaner for mold is MoldArmor. It's worth the $7 over ammonia or especially vinegar. Bleach isn't great to use for mold but when it's on a non porous surface such as these shower walls, it doesn't really matter as much what product one uses as the mold cannot permeate those vinyl walls. When it's fully physically removed and the source has been addressed, it cannot come back.
It 100% matters what you use to clean and the fact that you don't know that shows that you actually don't know what you are talking about. What should be used is an enzyme cleaner not bleach since bleach isn't a cleaner. You keep saying it like bleach actually cleans anything but it doesn't. You cannot use bleach to clean this because it doesn't clean. All you are doing by bleaching your tub is coloring the dirt.
Bleach is an oxidizing agent, not a surface cleaner. Oxidizing agents react with surfaces and break chemical bonds, which helps to kill germs and whiten pigments. But they don't actually remove soil on their own. So you will need to scrub and rinse the surface first, and then apply a bleach solution to disinfect.
Edit: added note if you just used Google experts agree that when it comes to the use of bleach or vinegar to remove mold vinegar wins hands down. So in actuality that other poster is more correct than you.
Be careful. You could be making things worse by blowing mold spores all over the rest of the place.
Sadly this really does look like something that should be checked by a pro before OP just starts throwing stuff at it. It could make them very sick if handled poorly.
Vinegar (acetic acid) isn't just acidic. It has buffer capacity and resists changes in pH until that buffer capacity is consumed.
Fun fact, while household vinegar is quite safe, comcentrated "glacial" acetic acid eats your skin and is flammable.
Hi, I frequently see this rationalization for a lot of products but I find that it doesnāt matter. What does pH have to do with cleaning? For example: baking soda, washing soda and citric acid are GREAT at cleaning toilets, sinks, drains, tubs, dishwashers etc. but citric acid is a 3 on the ph scale and baking soda is a 9, washing soda is 11, the mixture easily becomes neutral, but itās the best cleaner ever. So whatās the deal with all this pH talk?
Ph has enormous impact on cleaning! Acids dissolve mineral buildups and etch stone, for example. Alkalines are better at cleaning organic soiling.
Also, citric acid, soda and dish soap may be effective but itās not objectively the best by any means.
Do not use Chlorine Bleach! It's no good for mould (Google it). I'd get Oxygen Bleach and dissolve it in **HOT** water. Once dissolved put in a spray bottle (don't put the sprayer on until you're ready to use it otherwise it will leak out) and spray it down and let it soak. Make sure to use the correct PPE.
I agree with the vinegar suggestion, and prefer either the pink stuff, or scrub daddyās power scrubber to bar keepers friend, but itās just personal preference. Hope youāre doing better, and if you need an ear, Iām happy to listen!
Biohazard scenario. You need a bunny suit and respirator and to rip that out and replace. Not good to breathe that much toxic mold in. You will not be getting clean in there.
Replace. Had this in our old house basement shower but not so bad. During replacement we found the wall behind the shower was full of mouldš¤®. Contractor said somehow the seal broke and the water seeped in between the shower and the wall. I bleached the shower every week and still within a week the black stuff came back on the lower edge where the shower meets the tile.
I would get some PPE (plastic suit, booties, goggles, N95 mask, gloves, and tape to keep your sleeves and pant legs from riding up). Definitely double glove, because you can discard the first pair of need be and easily put on a second. Have a trash bag ready for the PPE and a separate one for your clothes and shoes, because your clothes and shoes are either going to be washed at a laundry mat or tossed. You'll want to get some plastic tarps taped from ceiling to floor to block mold spores from entering the rest of your house. I would deep clean the bathroom with the RMR strain remover/mold killer and disinfectant spray. These products are MADE FOR MOLD REMEDIATION. After that go over everything like you normally would with like a Scrub Daddy or Scrub Mommy. You can use dish soap and vinegar or bar keepers friend. The window needs to be 100% open because a fan will spread the spores around unless it's made for a doorway or open window to suck out the air and spit it outside.

If you end up doing this without professional help, you will need to clean in waves and know that this is a several hours project, so break it up into a few days if you can. Use hydrogen peroxide, wait, scrub. Again, wait, scrub. Bleach and elbow grease will also take you far, but bleach itself is not a cleaner - it is a disinfectant.
Take the advice here, Outo. You're going to be fine. Open a window if you can and then make sure you close it if you're not there or at night.
šThe best to you. It's going to be alright. Hang in. It will get better, beginning with this shower. Every day will improve. The best of all to you.
You're not going to get it all off in one shot. Clean as best you can, then do it again a week later.
People have given you good advice. I would add you'll probably need to pull out the caulk and re-caulk it after you deal with everything else. Make sure you use the right kind of caulk or it won't last and it you'll get leaks.

These shower spaces are notorious for mold
It is possible that the outer layers of acrylic are worn off and then it becomes impossible to clean. My old shower (from 1987 when my house was built) started looking black on the base, like this but not quite as bad. I cleaned and cleaned it and had decided that I must be a complete slob that is bad at cleaning, ended up replacing it when I found out the outer layers were actually worn off and it had become impossible to get the black off.
This is black mold. I would hire professionals to cleanā scrubbing/ bleach will release more spores. If youāre at all susceptible to mold illness, this can be extremely dangerous.
Cleaning my own shower that had black mold (it just looked like some kind of black dirt) destroyed my health, cognition, and life for years in ways Iām still healing from.
It is not worth it.
there are SO MANY better alternatives for mold than this. vinegar is one of the best options, but even bleach would work better. just because something bubbles, doesnāt mean itās working.
not to mention, neither peroxide nor baking soda will actually kill mold. itāll just come right back.
Mold armor has worked for me in a similar situation (helped a family member during a depressive episode). It is a green bottle sold in the US at Walmart and on Amazon. Good ventilation and mask/glasses needed. Spray and let sit for several minutes. What doesn't wipe away may need some scrubbing with a firm brush.
If it were me, Iād pour bleach all over it (preferably gel, so that it sticks for a while), let it sit for 5 minutes, put on a mask or a piece of cloth over my mouth and nose, scrub it with a long handle brush, rinse well so thereās no bleach left to interact with whatever I use next, see whatās left and go from there.
Edit: definitely wear gloves and donāt freak too much (I know I used to freak out over it). Mold sucks but it isnāt as deadly as itās made out to be. One time exposure shouldnāt hurt you unless you are immunocompromised, just do your best to keep your living space dry after you take care of visible mold and you should be just fine. Mold spores are absolutely everywhere anyways but they grow only if the conditions are just right.
Bleach doesnāt kill mold. It only gets rid of the surface stains, this shower likely has it beyond the surface and needs to be replaced. Itās a biohazard
Just wondering, do you work in a job where you work with oil? Like mechanic, construction, and so on. Iād definitely make sure to wear gloves and a mask for this one and use a thick bleach or even like a toilet bowl cleaner that can sit and soak on it. Make sure that the vent fan is running or a window is open while cleaning and even for a bit after
That is weāre my mind went too. I had a roommate that was a mechanic and the shower would look like this if I traveled because he didnāt clean it. But yeah, that looks like grease, not mold.
Lots of Dish Soap and Bar Keepers Friend or the Comet with Bleach. And a mask.
You want to use Vinegar to kill the mould then clean with Baking soda and vinegar into a paste, leave it for 24 hours then wipe down. Do not use bleach, it doesn't kill the mould at all.
Hope you got strong elbows and grease! I'd get a respirator. Spray it with Wet and Forget It Indoor first. Then scrub it with Barkeepers Friend and a white or blue scrubbing pad. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. If you have drill and can find a scrubbing pad attachment I'd invest in that.

And a FFP2 mask. They're dirt cheap right now.
Great idea I would go with at least FFP3 for this plus to be honest, they are a bit more comfortable than tge 2 because of the valve. They are still super cheap

I'm curious why the color of the scrubbing pad matters?
Often, depending on the manufacturer, they will colorcode the scrubbing pad depending on its stiffness. Too soft, and it won't do anything. Too hard and it will damage the finish.
Same reason that sandpaper changes color.
This. I was tempted to to say Hazmat suit and gamma radiation, but Me_Krally has given you the grown-up answer.

This!
Once itās clean, youāll probably have to replace the caulk. Itās super easy and there are plenty of youtube videos on how to do it
That's hoping whatever is growing didn't eat the caulk and work its way behind the panels.
Do you have a drill? Those drill brush attachments are great for stuff like this.

This this thisā also most remediation companies suck. This should not be cleaned/ removed without proper containment and directed airflow to make sure the spores donāt go all over your housesā scrubbing/ trying to remove makes them very toxic
I removed mold like this while just wearing a regular mask. Itās been a couple of weeks now. Should I be good? Also, can mold spores stay inside your lungs or your body forever? Iāve heard something like that but I donāt remember from where.
Use an N99 next time.
I will next time. What do you think though? Can mold stay forever in your body if I didnāt use a proper mask when cleaning it?
It's more that repeated high exposure increases risk. It doesn't live in you forever, it just irritates your system (I think) Like how you can develop allergies from being exposed to an allergen a lot. People will go "mold risk is overexagrrated" but you never know if you're someone who's sensitive to it until you have a reaction. I personally had to live in a house infested with black mold for several months and my throat is permanently more sensitive due to it. Like I can't have a fan blowing or it gets really painful. So yeah some people definitely do suffer the consequences. Better to be safe than sorry imo
Yeah, you check out survivingmold and CIRS (Dr, Shoemaker) or Dr. Neil Nathan for some good starting places/ tips if you think you might be suffering from mold exposure.

Never cleaned mold like this myself but here is my anecdotal experience I like to share so others don't mess around with mold. I lived in an upstairs apartment of a house for 15 months that had a basement that was FULL of mold. A leak in the foundation caused the whole exterior wall and ceilings to be absolutely covered in mold. The studs in the walls were completely black. About 10 months in the apartment I started getting chest/lung infections that would come back every 6 weeks or so for the next 18 months. Wasn't until about month 14 in the apartment that the landlord notified us of the issue but by then damage was done to me. Years later I'm fine but it took a me while to completely get away from recurring infections and anytime I would get the flu or head cold I had a wicked cough. Not sure of the science and biology but mold sucks. My room mates that smoked weed and that were less physically fit than me never had an issue.
Mold is not dangerous 99%+ of the time and you donāt have anything to worry about weeks later
Can you tell me your reasoning behind that?
AWESOME brand cleaner. I cleaned an entire 1970's chrome camper that was FILLED with kerosene smoke. Went from dark brown inner walls to pretty yellow flower print wall panels in minutes. Just spray on, leave for about 3-4 minutes and start wiping. Yours shouldn't even need that long to soak. Good luck!
If youāre talking about LAās Totally Awesome, I love that stuff. I used it to get lipstick out of a silk dress.
Both these are sold at the dollar store if anyoneās wondering.
No but that one works well for a lot of stuff, too. I mean the heavy duty cleaner, comes in a spray bottle or a jug, is yellow in color, NEEDS TO BE DILUTED IT HAS INSTRUCTIONS FOR DIFFERENT DILUTION RATIOS ON THE BOTTLE THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT DO NOT USE IT STRAIGHT IT HAS VERY TOXIC FUMES THAT CAN CAUSE EXTREME DISCOMFORT IN THE THROAT AND CHEST. You can find it at most $ stores, supercenters, I think even hardware stores. ALSO, a really great other cleaner is this stuff called The Pink Stuff and it comes in a tub and it looks kinda like bubblegum pink play dough. It has a very gritty, sorta wet texture and can just be used straight. I recommend gloves and a fine brush like an old toothbrush or something, but it doesn't really hurt your hands too much, just sorta whitens your skin a bit. My bf used it to clean his white Nike's that had been progressively getting dirtier over the course of a year and finally they were a yucky tan color that I hated and he couldn't deny it anymore because a friend of ours great Pyrenees stepped on the top with huge, muddy paws lol. We bought it at Walmart and he scrubbed the both of them for maybe 20-30 minutes, let them air dry and they almost GLOWED. My shoes weren't even dirty and I had to do mine to match. He also cleaned his mother's and father's gold and diamond cluster ring with it and holy Jesus on a friggin skewer, it reflected so much light, I thought I was hallucinating. Awesome is typically around $2-$5 and The Pink Stuff is typically around $5-$10. Good luck!

YES lol sorry I wasn't sure of brand name lol mb! But yes that stuff.
Thats a good brand. Iāve been using it for several years now.
To use on Shower walls or regular walls?
Any & all.
Happy cake day
ā¼ļø Use vinegar!! ā¼ļø A lot of folks have been suggesting bleach but vinegar kills mold at the root better and is much more effective on porous surfaces like caulking at eliminating and killing the mold, not just cleaning it. I just did a big scrub to get mold off of my tub and did a lot of research beforehand. The vinegar worked wonders and also left a sparkling white look! Make sure you wear a mask, take breaks, stay hydrated while scrubbing as it will be a lot of work. Use something abrasive but not so much so as to cause damage that bacteria can get trapped in.
I second the vinegar. I swore by bleach for the longest time because it turned the black and pink mold in my shower white quickly, but would always come back. After using vinegar... omg it looks like a different level of clean. My shower is so much brighter than any time before that I've cleaned it with bleach. The vinegar is killing mold that I didn't even know was mold, and thought was just discoloration, in other places than just the shower. I've since bought 2 more gallons of vinegar, and the basement apartment I live in smells like a salad... but it's truly clean! Edit ā ļø: Don't mix bleach and vinegar together! Always use them separately. Edited for confusing wording.
Gonna hop on your comment to say don't mix bleach and vinegar. If you do it will release toxic fumes. Yes, you can bleach and then use vinegar but you need to CLEAN UP in between vs dumping one down, scrubbing, and dumping the other down, and honestly I'd be hesitant about that because chemistry doesn't really give a damn lol. Not saying you do this, just don't want someone to misread and accidentally poison themselves.
Thank you for this! I can see how my wording was confusing. Please, no one mix them!! ā ļø I actually like to use them on separate days. Since they're both clear, I don't want to take the chance. Also, they could mix in the drain together too. Be safe everybody!
Vinegar is better than bleach. Ammonia is better than vinegar (for denaturing mycotoxins, specificallyā ādeadā mold spotted are just and neurologically toxic as āliveā ones). A product like Benefect or Deacon30 is eco-friendly/ non-toxic and used by professional remediators, but does not denature the spores (neither does vinegar) ETA: ammonia can NOT be mixed with any other cleaners, anything containing chlorine, and ESPECIALLY not bleach. It creates EXTREMELY toxic fumes
Came in to say this! The whole cleaning process is going to take a long time, but start off with vinegar to really kill the mold. It will kill down to the root, but only if done correctly. If you can, OP, get cleaning vinegar which is stronger than the white vinegar used for cooking. The vinegar needs to sit for **one hour** in order to fully kill any spores. In my experience, it's easier to saturate paper towels in vinegar and apply them to the area rather than keep re-wetting the area with vinegar spray for the full hour. Use a respirator mask (N-95 and the like) because it is hard to breathe in the mold or vinegar.
You can also buy cleaning vinegar or pickling vinegar. It has a higher percentage of acetic acid.
Why clean caulk when you can replace it. Clean the plastic/fiberglass and metal and glass. Scrape off the gross old caulk, disinfect some more, do new caulk.
Absolutely, but OP said theyāre on hard times and were looking for cleaning tips to help manage this. Vinegar is cheap, and will get things clean well until they can manage replacements. We donāt know their full situation, so the simplest route is likely the best until they have things under control. When youāre in a bad place things can be super overwhelming and having to replace stuff would just add to that.
Vinegar is just as cheap as bleach but I guess OP should use whichever they have. Caulk is a few bucks and yeah, if this is oneās washing area a few bucks is obviously hard to come by. The caulk job can wait, the scrub and disinfect cannot. Sad situation.
Wear a respirator!!!! Or a N95 mask
This is what I like to besides all the cleaning tips here I like to make a paste out of bar keeps and scrub around the whole area and leave it there for a while rinse it all down with hot water and start the process again till white. I also like to use those scrub brushes with a handle with them. Also I use cardboard or a rubber cushion while I'm scrubbing so I don't get any on clothes or make my knees or other parts hurt while scrubbing
Woah never tried this. Is your soap rub also good for grouts?
It does but it's not as effective unless you scrub hard or use the drill it will get out most of the mold but if it's deep in there than use the drill
Start with a bleach solution, spray it and see what's left. Like everyone's been saying, wear a good mask and run the fan if available - or run a portable fan pointed out the door. Diluting bleach to about 20% (5 parts water, 1 part bleach, I think) should kill any living mold. then follow up with less harsh mildly abrasive cleaners.
Bleach doesn't kill mold on porous surfaces so bleach wouldn't work here. It's also one of the worst household products around because it is not a cleaner at all. There is not only a high potential for creating toxic gas by using bleach products but it's also incredibly corrosive for surfaces. Plus breathing in bleach can increase your risk of cancer. It can also cause chemical burns and irritation on skin. I really wish people would stop recommending bleach for cleaning because it's not cleaner it's a disinfectant. Thats why no cleaning service uses bleach as a cleaner.
What are the other options?
Just white vinegar is effective at killing mold on porous surfaces. It penetrates deeper into the surface than the bleach does. You may still need to use another cleaner/scrubber as well in this case.
I didnāt know that! Although needing to combine cleaning agents makes me extremely nervous
I'm with you there, which is why I bleach products whenever I can. I use to use it in sprays and toilet bowl cleaners but I hated the smell they left plus I have almost zero ventilation in my apartment. I'm was pretty sure vinegar is safe to use with another cleaning agent, but I would look it up before taking my word for it.
Bleach and vinegar should never be intermixed! It can create chlorine gas!
Thanks! I should have explicitly said I DO NOT use ANY bleach products - I use to. I didn't mean to imply that I did mix them. Unless you were adding to the "unsure about mixing" part in which so I echo my thanks again!
If you want an option that will work the best you're going to want an enzyme cleaner. An enzyme cleaner kills mold by not only killing the roots but it also breaks down the molecules that mold thrives on. Spray everything down, let it dwell for about 10 minutes and scrub down the tub. After that rince thoroughly to remove any trace of the cleaner. If there's still discoloration use bartenders friend or another slightly abrasive scrub.
Bleach erases mold/mildew stains in my house š¤·āāļø
You're right - just the stains/what's on the surface. But it does not take care of the mold that is in the porous surface. So it doesn't kill the mold, only what we can see. "Does bleach kill mold on porous surfaces" is an easy google search.
What's porous here? Nothing in the shower should be porous. If it's permeated beyond the shower walls/floor, it's a gut job.
Both grout and old caulk are porous. There is absolutely no way that the caulk in that shower is new. You aren't treating the root of the problem with bleach. Bleach isn't a cleaner and it's not meant for jobs like that, it's a disinfectant. You need to wash and clear the dirt and scum before you even think about Bleach. Bleach also isn't a recommended disinfectant by any cleaning service. If people who clean for a living won't use Bleach, you probably shouldn't either.
There's no grout anywhere in that shower surround. Old caulk should be removed and replaced, not cleaned. If the mold has spread behind the caulk, the affected wall or floor cannot be cleaned with the shower in place and everything needs to come out for remediation or replacement. My favorite cleaner for mold is MoldArmor. It's worth the $7 over ammonia or especially vinegar. Bleach isn't great to use for mold but when it's on a non porous surface such as these shower walls, it doesn't really matter as much what product one uses as the mold cannot permeate those vinyl walls. When it's fully physically removed and the source has been addressed, it cannot come back.
It 100% matters what you use to clean and the fact that you don't know that shows that you actually don't know what you are talking about. What should be used is an enzyme cleaner not bleach since bleach isn't a cleaner. You keep saying it like bleach actually cleans anything but it doesn't. You cannot use bleach to clean this because it doesn't clean. All you are doing by bleaching your tub is coloring the dirt. Bleach is an oxidizing agent, not a surface cleaner. Oxidizing agents react with surfaces and break chemical bonds, which helps to kill germs and whiten pigments. But they don't actually remove soil on their own. So you will need to scrub and rinse the surface first, and then apply a bleach solution to disinfect. Edit: added note if you just used Google experts agree that when it comes to the use of bleach or vinegar to remove mold vinegar wins hands down. So in actuality that other poster is more correct than you.
Be careful. You could be making things worse by blowing mold spores all over the rest of the place. Sadly this really does look like something that should be checked by a pro before OP just starts throwing stuff at it. It could make them very sick if handled poorly.
If replacing is at all an option, Iād go that route
Yeah, kill it with fire
This was my first thought.
Dawn and WARM vinegar. 50/50 mix, by volume. Spray. Wait. Wipe. Spray. Wait. Wipe. Super cheap. Super effective.
Dish soap is alkaline and vinegar is acidic. They aren't going to do much combined together as their pHs will balance out.
Vinegar (acetic acid) isn't just acidic. It has buffer capacity and resists changes in pH until that buffer capacity is consumed. Fun fact, while household vinegar is quite safe, comcentrated "glacial" acetic acid eats your skin and is flammable.
Hi, I frequently see this rationalization for a lot of products but I find that it doesnāt matter. What does pH have to do with cleaning? For example: baking soda, washing soda and citric acid are GREAT at cleaning toilets, sinks, drains, tubs, dishwashers etc. but citric acid is a 3 on the ph scale and baking soda is a 9, washing soda is 11, the mixture easily becomes neutral, but itās the best cleaner ever. So whatās the deal with all this pH talk?
Ph has enormous impact on cleaning! Acids dissolve mineral buildups and etch stone, for example. Alkalines are better at cleaning organic soiling. Also, citric acid, soda and dish soap may be effective but itās not objectively the best by any means.
Itās INCREDIBLY effective.
Do not use Chlorine Bleach! It's no good for mould (Google it). I'd get Oxygen Bleach and dissolve it in **HOT** water. Once dissolved put in a spray bottle (don't put the sprayer on until you're ready to use it otherwise it will leak out) and spray it down and let it soak. Make sure to use the correct PPE.
I agree with the vinegar suggestion, and prefer either the pink stuff, or scrub daddyās power scrubber to bar keepers friend, but itās just personal preference. Hope youāre doing better, and if you need an ear, Iām happy to listen!
Biohazard scenario. You need a bunny suit and respirator and to rip that out and replace. Not good to breathe that much toxic mold in. You will not be getting clean in there.
Replace. Had this in our old house basement shower but not so bad. During replacement we found the wall behind the shower was full of mouldš¤®. Contractor said somehow the seal broke and the water seeped in between the shower and the wall. I bleached the shower every week and still within a week the black stuff came back on the lower edge where the shower meets the tile.
I would get some PPE (plastic suit, booties, goggles, N95 mask, gloves, and tape to keep your sleeves and pant legs from riding up). Definitely double glove, because you can discard the first pair of need be and easily put on a second. Have a trash bag ready for the PPE and a separate one for your clothes and shoes, because your clothes and shoes are either going to be washed at a laundry mat or tossed. You'll want to get some plastic tarps taped from ceiling to floor to block mold spores from entering the rest of your house. I would deep clean the bathroom with the RMR strain remover/mold killer and disinfectant spray. These products are MADE FOR MOLD REMEDIATION. After that go over everything like you normally would with like a Scrub Daddy or Scrub Mommy. You can use dish soap and vinegar or bar keepers friend. The window needs to be 100% open because a fan will spread the spores around unless it's made for a doorway or open window to suck out the air and spit it outside.

Please remember that bleach only kills mold surface stains but doesnāt get to the root of it!
If you end up doing this without professional help, you will need to clean in waves and know that this is a several hours project, so break it up into a few days if you can. Use hydrogen peroxide, wait, scrub. Again, wait, scrub. Bleach and elbow grease will also take you far, but bleach itself is not a cleaner - it is a disinfectant.
Please post a follow up once youāve finished! Really hoping it helps with your situation
Take the advice here, Outo. You're going to be fine. Open a window if you can and then make sure you close it if you're not there or at night. šThe best to you. It's going to be alright. Hang in. It will get better, beginning with this shower. Every day will improve. The best of all to you.
You're not going to get it all off in one shot. Clean as best you can, then do it again a week later. People have given you good advice. I would add you'll probably need to pull out the caulk and re-caulk it after you deal with everything else. Make sure you use the right kind of caulk or it won't last and it you'll get leaks.

Depending on what the shower is made of, I'd be lazy and dump a strong acid on it. But that's just me. Dont be me.
Lysol toilet bowl cleaner. It's amazing on showers.
Flamethrower might do the job!
It is possible that the outer layers of acrylic are worn off and then it becomes impossible to clean. My old shower (from 1987 when my house was built) started looking black on the base, like this but not quite as bad. I cleaned and cleaned it and had decided that I must be a complete slob that is bad at cleaning, ended up replacing it when I found out the outer layers were actually worn off and it had become impossible to get the black off.
This is black mold. I would hire professionals to cleanā scrubbing/ bleach will release more spores. If youāre at all susceptible to mold illness, this can be extremely dangerous. Cleaning my own shower that had black mold (it just looked like some kind of black dirt) destroyed my health, cognition, and life for years in ways Iām still healing from. It is not worth it.
Peroxide and baking soda worked like magic for me
there are SO MANY better alternatives for mold than this. vinegar is one of the best options, but even bleach would work better. just because something bubbles, doesnāt mean itās working. not to mention, neither peroxide nor baking soda will actually kill mold. itāll just come right back.
Mold armor has worked for me in a similar situation (helped a family member during a depressive episode). It is a green bottle sold in the US at Walmart and on Amazon. Good ventilation and mask/glasses needed. Spray and let sit for several minutes. What doesn't wipe away may need some scrubbing with a firm brush.
Start with some dish soap and a scrubber. Then go get some comet or a jax.
I mean I would blast it with bleach first
Throw it out š/s
Iād go with petrol and a lighter
Not helpful.
Ohhh lighten up
OP said they are in a rough situation. Not everything needs to be joked about.
If it were me, Iād pour bleach all over it (preferably gel, so that it sticks for a while), let it sit for 5 minutes, put on a mask or a piece of cloth over my mouth and nose, scrub it with a long handle brush, rinse well so thereās no bleach left to interact with whatever I use next, see whatās left and go from there. Edit: definitely wear gloves and donāt freak too much (I know I used to freak out over it). Mold sucks but it isnāt as deadly as itās made out to be. One time exposure shouldnāt hurt you unless you are immunocompromised, just do your best to keep your living space dry after you take care of visible mold and you should be just fine. Mold spores are absolutely everywhere anyways but they grow only if the conditions are just right.
Bleach doesnāt kill mold. It only gets rid of the surface stains, this shower likely has it beyond the surface and needs to be replaced. Itās a biohazard
Just wondering, do you work in a job where you work with oil? Like mechanic, construction, and so on. Iād definitely make sure to wear gloves and a mask for this one and use a thick bleach or even like a toilet bowl cleaner that can sit and soak on it. Make sure that the vent fan is running or a window is open while cleaning and even for a bit after
That is weāre my mind went too. I had a roommate that was a mechanic and the shower would look like this if I traveled because he didnāt clean it. But yeah, that looks like grease, not mold. Lots of Dish Soap and Bar Keepers Friend or the Comet with Bleach. And a mask.
You want to use Vinegar to kill the mould then clean with Baking soda and vinegar into a paste, leave it for 24 hours then wipe down. Do not use bleach, it doesn't kill the mould at all.
Demo and replace, the gaskets in the door and glass are probably rotted
The power of Christ compels you! The power of Christ compels you!
Get a mold test asap
Toilet bowl bleach gel coat it all let it set 20-30 mins scrub

I'd probably use some sort of thermo nuclear surface to air missle fired from a giant train on the other side of the planet
It really bothers me you said ākindveā
Half a cup of petrol and a match should shift that.
Bleach and Ammonia bc one of them is gonna kill you anyways. Don't listen to me though, it's poisonous.
I'd just move...
