I have small tile with grout in my bath room shower....I CANNOT seem to scrub the mildew out!! It looks horrible any suggestions on how or what to use to get it out???????????????
One thing you should know is I have no ventalation in my bathroom....do I put a fan in there to circulate the air? I swear I am not helpless...but I have never dealt with this and I can't stand the mold!!!
I love Scrub Free with Bleach. It works amazing for me, and smells nice and clean.
You can spray it with a bleach solution (use a spray bottle with two parts water, one part bleach. Make sure you try to air out your bathroom) and let that sit for a while before you rinse it off. If it's inside the grout you won't be able to scrub it out.
take a paper towel with clorox (soaked) on it - tuck INTO the grout- leave it there for AT LEAST 15 minutes. There should be NO MOLD on the grout when you pull it off.
DO NOT dilute the clorox!
Bleach is NOT the answer. Bleach is actually a registered pesticide and is a neurotoxin - and can also cause cancer and kidney and liver damage. There are dioxins in bleach that are 300,000 times more potent as a carcinogen than DDT. I wouldn't want something that dangerous in my home around my precious children.
We use Tub-N-Tile. I found it online through a wellness company that I shop with and I TOTALLY love it. There are 21 lemons in just one bottle and it cuts through major mildew. We bought a 5 year old house, and the master shower door was covered with cruddy black mildew and NOTHING got it out - even when we got everything from Lowes. It wasn't until I started doing my research that I found out how dangerous typical household cleaning products are - and we made the switch to safer, eco-friendly stuff that really works! When I sprayed the Tub-N-Tile on the shower, the mold WIPED OFF with just a dry washcloth - no scrubbing required.
I can get you in touch with a way to get the Tub-N-Tile. But educate yourself. Your babies are worth it! :) I found a lot of good stuff on this site: http://www.saferforyourhome.com

Bleach...it works wonders! It also works FAST so no need to hold a paper towel for 15 minutes. MAYBE 15 SECONDS! :) LOVE that stuff!
Do not use bleach. It isn't good for your health. Use Shaklee Scour Off instead. It is a green cleaner and will do a great job on your grout and shower.
Since you have no ventilation in your bathroom, get into the habit of drying off the walls of your shower either with a cloth or get a squeegee to use after you are done with your shower.
the Magic Eraser is wonderful too! it doesn't put off any smell and you just use water and the eraser. wear gloves if it is a long job and keep the eraser itself away from your kiddos.
