How to remove these black marks in my bathroom?

Debi53 on Sep 26, 2016It's hard to tell from your picture, but it looks like mold or more likely mildew. If that's the case, clorox should remove it. If you've already tried this, maybe give a little more info about the spots themselves--how long they have been there, what products or methods you have already tried, etc.Helpful Reply

Sabrina's Organizing on Sep 26, 2016Saturate a cotton ball with a bleach cleaning spray. I used Clorox bathroom tub cleaner. Then, leave the cotton balls on each spot overnight. By the morning, it will be gone. I used this tips a few times so far. Make sure no one takes a shower while these are on the spots, it will dilute the cotton balls.Helpful Reply

Ilene-Rachel on Sep 26, 2016Try soaking with hydrogen peroxide. Let sit awhile and then rinse off with hot water. If that doesn't work, try the same with white vinegar. If the black is actually under caulking, you may have to remove the caulking first. Good luck!Helpful Reply

David on Sep 28, 2016I use bleach on mine and it works great, use a "thick" bleach Domestos or the like and pour straight from bottle and leave for a while and wash off, with a small amount of mould as in your pic I would just dab the bleach on with a small paintbrush. Good luckHelpful Reply

Michelle on Sep 28, 2016that is mold and that means there is moisture behind the panels, black mold is not good to breathe in. Are you running the ceiling when using the shower? Black mold will not go away, you have to address the problem. That means removing panel surround and pulling the damage drywall.Helpful Reply

Pat Ruge on Sep 29, 2016I'm guessing this is a laminate wall. If so, chances are whoever installed it, used a black tar-like adhesive. It appears to me, the tar is seeping out. If you use bleach, and it is mold, it will go away, but if it is tar, you will need to dig out the caulking and recaulk. If it is tar, speak to the hardware man & explain your situation. He can make the best recommendation for the right caulk.Helpful Reply

MK McDonald on Oct 08, 2016I think you've caught it earlyish and seems to be absorbed into your caulk. I've had this problem in one of my bathrooms and I just cut through the caulk to see how far in it has gone, then clean whatever black is left and repair the caulkingHelpful Reply
