During daily showers, hard water and soap residue accumulate on the glass surfaces of the cabin. As a result, unsightly streaks form, which can't be wiped off with an ordinary sponge. Additionally, high humidity promotes mold growth in the grout, which is hazardous to the health of household members. If you want your cabin to look like new, try a method that will eliminate all dirt, including mold. And no, it's not vinegar or lemon juice.

Mold in the bathroom - how to get rid of it?

The bathroom is a place with high humidity—the perfect environment for the multiplication of bacteria and mold, which often settles in the crevices of the shower cabin. If you notice yellow or gray-green spots on the grout and a musty smell in the air, it's a sign of mold presence.

Mold, even in small quantities, can cause serious health issues. Runny nose, sinusitis, headaches, and skin allergies are just a few of them. Therefore, regularly monitoring the shower cabin is crucial. How can you effectively and safely remove mold? We have two methods. The first involves using hydrogen peroxide, which should be mixed with baking soda, applied to the stains, and left for an hour, then wiped off with a clean sponge.

Alternatively, you can use vinegar. Vinegar has disinfecting, brightening, and whitening properties. Our grandmothers often used it for cleaning windows and shower cabins because it's reliable in removing limescale. Simply spray it on the cabin, spread it around, and rinse it off with water. The only downside might be the strong smell of vinegar, but it can be neutralized. If you have a dishwasher, a cleaning product can be found in the kitchen cabinet.

Looking for a way to restore the former shine of the shower cabin and get rid of bacteria? Use one simple thing — dishwasher tablets. Thanks to strong cleaning agents, they remove dirt and polish surfaces. Dissolve a tablet in a bit of boiling water, soak a sponge, and wipe down the cabin. Leave the solution for 10 minutes, rinse with water, and dry thoroughly. The result? The cabin shines like new!
