<p style="text-align: center;">Mouldy shower caulk is a common problem which all homeowners face. For the uninitiated, caulk refers to either the waterproof filler or sealant which is either silicone, acrylic, or latex based. Caulk is frequently used to waterproof joints in areas like bathtubs, showers and so on.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/How-to-remove-shower-mold.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img class="size-full wp-image-61550 aligncenter" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/How-to-remove-shower-mold.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="386" /></a>Image from<a href="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/How-to-remove-shower-mold.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> </a><a href="https://adebtfreestressfreelife.com/12-must-tips-eliminate-shower-mold-permanetly/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">A debt free stress free life</a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Contrary to popular belief, sloppy workmanship or inferior material does not cause the shower caulk to turn mouldy. In actuality, the high level of moisture and humidity in the bathroom encourages the mould to grow and flourish on tiles and caulk. Since caulk usually comes in white or beige in color, it will turn green and subsequently black when the mould starts to spread and thrive.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Therefore, you should consider getting their renovation professionals to use anti-fungal bathroom silicone sealant to prevent mould from invading your bathrooms.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/How-to-remove-shower-mold_tools_step2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-61561" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/How-to-remove-shower-mold_tools_step2.jpg" alt="" width="4032" height="1416" /></a></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Step 3. Cut the cotton pads into strips</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">Cut the cotton pads into strips. The width of the strips should be wider than the mouldy caulk.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/How-to-remove-shower-mold_tools_step1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-61560" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/How-to-remove-shower-mold_tools_step1.jpg" alt="" width="4032" height="1416" /></a></p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Step 5. Use the plastic spoon to soak the cotton strips with bleach</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">Put on your mask, gloves and ensure that the bathroom is well ventilated. Soak the cotton strips with bleach.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/How-to-remove-shower-mold_tools_step4.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-61564" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/How-to-remove-shower-mold_tools_step4.jpg" alt="" width="4032" height="1416" /></a></p>

Remove the bleach soaked cotton strips</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">Use the plastic spoon to remove the cotton strips and dispose them into a plastic bag.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/How-to-remove-shower-mold_tools_remove.jpg"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-61570" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/How-to-remove-shower-mold_tools_remove.jpg" alt="" width="264" height="171" /></a></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">The mould has been removed!</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">The caulk should be free of mould and looks pristine clean.</p>
<p><a href="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/How-to-remove-shower-mold_tools_step7.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-61567" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/How-to-remove-shower-mold_tools_step7.jpg" alt="" width="4032" height="1416" /></a></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Step 8. Clean the shower area with lots of water to get rid of any residue bleach</h2>
