I Have Tried A Dozen Things To Get My Bath Clean, But Nothing Works Better Than Bleach And Cotton : AWM

 

<Keeping a bathroom clean can be a difficult task. Especially when fungus starts to unknowingly creep into all cracks and crevices.  It’s something that my wife and I argue about all the time and finally, after a long fight ,we decided to look up the best way to do it. That’s when we found Jessica, from the blog This Blessed Life. She had found herself in a bit of a predicament too. She tried nearly every product on the market and nothing would cure the mold growing from the grout of her tub. Six months into moving into their new home, Jessica was at a stand still. Her husband warned her not to scrub at the mold too hard or the grout would disappear and the mold would begin to grow into the wall. And did she listen to him? No. The mold continued to grow and Jessica was frustrated. That’s when she had a bright idea…

She turned to the internet for help, and surprisingly found her solution on Pinterest. Only two items were needed for the removal: bleach and cotton beauty coils, which are used for perms. Because she already had everything she needed, Jessica was ready to get to work cleaning the mold in her grout once and for all.

The coils were great because they came in long strips which could be used to cover the grout. The project in total is extremely cheap, only costing two dollars. Jessica first decided to use a test strip along a corner of the tub to see how well the cotton and bleach actually worked. She was amazed to find that the next morning the corner was spotless!

After dousing the entirety of the grout in cotton and bleach the tub was pristine. She highly recommends this treatment stating on her blog, “I did this almost two months ago, and the mold has not returned.”

All you need to do is soak the cotton ball in the bleach, and place it on the mold, and watch that mold disappear! She posted an update two months after her initial cleaning and the mold was still gone. Talk about staying power.

While Jessica was happy to discover her solution, she later posted an update to her blog indicating that if you have old grout, the bleach fix is only a temporary solution. She wrote: “And as a VERY important disclaimer….if you have old caulking, like I did, REPLACE IT! We have since replaced ours since I wrote this post years ago.  Using the bleach is a temporary solution, but I highly recommend replacing it or hiring a professional so that you don’t have water come through behind your shower wall!”

Scrolling through the comments on her blog reveals something interesting. This cleaning trick WORKS. Nearly everyone who commented indicated either that they were going to try it or that it did wonders for their bathroom.

What do you think about this easy life hack? Is it something you or someone you know would use in your bathroom?
