LEARN HOW TO REMOVE MOULD FROM GROUT
Mould on grout and silicone is a common issue in bathrooms due to constant exposure to moisture and humidity. Not only does it look unsightly, but it can also pose health risks if left untreated. Removing mould effectively requires the right tools, cleaning methods, and preventive measures to ensure it doesn’t return. Here’s how you can restore your grout and silicone to their original condition.
DIY Methods for Removing Mould from Grout
Removing mould from grout can be done using simple household items:
•Mix equal parts of white vinegar and water in a spray bottle.
•Spray the mixture onto the affected grout lines and let it sit for 10 minutes.
•Use a grout brush or an old toothbrush to scrub the mould away, then rinse with warm water.
For tougher stains, you can use a paste made of baking soda and water for extra cleaning power.
Cleaning Mould from Silicone Seals
Mould on silicone seals requires a slightly different approach:
•Apply a mould-removing cleaner or diluted bleach directly onto the silicone.
•Let it sit for 15-20 minutes to break down the mould.
•Scrub gently with a soft brush or sponge, being careful not to damage the silicone.
If the mould has deeply penetrated the silicone, you may need to remove and replace the sealant to fully eliminate the problem.
Preventing Mould on Grout and Silicone
To keep mould from returning, follow these tips:
•Ensure your bathroom is well-ventilated by using an exhaust fan or opening a window.
•Wipe down tiles and silicone seals after each use to remove excess moisture.
•Apply a grout sealer to protect grout from absorbing water and developing mould.
•Replace old or deteriorated silicone that is more prone to mould growth.
