How to Clean Mold From a Shower Stall

Shower stalls are a breeding ground for mold because it is damp there. Humidity also builds up there and keeps the mold thriving. The mold can be black, green or brown but they all can be harmful to everyone that uses the shower stall.

How to Clean Mold From a Shower Stall

Materials Needed

• Chlorine bleach


• Bucket


• Hot water


• Gloves


• Mask


• Scrub brush


• Sponge


• Hydrogen peroxide (three percent)


• Fan

1. The area should be well ventilated. Open all of the doors and windows in the area. Turn on the exhaust fan as well. This should be done frequently to keep the moisture down and prevent mold.


2. Pour 1 cup of chlorine beach into a bucket. Add 1 gallon of hot water to the bucket. Put on gloves to protect your hands from the mold. Make sure you wear a mask during the cleaning process.


3. Swish a scrub brush around in the solution. Clean the entire shower stall. Soak the brush frequently with the bleach solution and saturate the stall. Allow the cleaning solution to sit for 20 minutes to kill the mold.


4. Pour out the bleach solution and rinse the bucket. Fill the bucket with clean water. Use a clean sponge and the clean water to thoroughly rinse the shower stall.


5. Look over the stall to make sure all mold is removed. If not, apply three percent hydrogen peroxide to a cloth and soak those areas. Allow the peroxide to sit on the area for 15 minutes. Rinse the area with clean water. Place a fan in the area and allow the shower to dry.
