Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Aug 05, 2013The mold is really growing on the soap scum that has attached itself to the grout. Oftentimes this build up gets into the pores of the grout surface which makes it even harder to remove. While bleach may appear to work, all your really doing is bleaching the color out making it appear that you removed the mold. You have in effect killed it, but the material that allowed the mold to grow is still present. A good scrubbing with a stiff brush and a commercial tile cleaner of your choice. This is what is needed. If you cannot remove the stains from the mold without using bleach, I would suggest that you use a grout removal tool and remove the offending material and re-grout the shower/bath area. Once dried you then need to seal the surface of the grout to prevent mold and soils from getting into the pores of the new material. If you fail to do this, you will begin to see mold development once again.Helpful Reply

Sherrie on Aug 06, 2013If it is in the caulking you need to remove the caulk and then re-caulk it. Wiping it downor squeegee off the water each time will help keep the build up down. And leaving the door to the shower open after your done showering will help air flow and to dry it thoroughly.Helpful Reply
