Please don't use bleach! It is very caustic. Instead, buy a 32 oz bottle of hydrogen peroxide and buy and empty 32 oz sprayer bottle at Wal Mart. Remove the sprayer head and place on the hydrogen peroxide bottle and spray. It kills mold. You should also use this anywhere you want to disinfect in the home, like bathroom and kitchen counter tops. Just as good as bleach, completely safe to use. Bleach is very caustic and it should never touch your skin! Jim in Jax

I have that pink mold in the shower. I also use bleach to remove it. Does it cause any other problems like athletes foot?

That mold is what can cause urinary tract infections. Bleach is the answer!

The best thing for mold is Dawn dish soap:-)

Yes, and yes. LOL We get pink mold all the time in the jets of our white whirlpool tub. I just spray it with Tilex like the black mold. Bleach will work too.

Yes a mixture of bleach and water will get rid of the mold.

Request: Removing Mold from Shower Walls

Archived on 05/16/2009

I am looking for tips on how to remove mold from my shower walls.

Bleach kills mold but you need to find out why it's there in the first place and do something to prevent or it'll come back. I'd use something like Soft Scrub which has bleach in it to really clean first and then spray with straight bleach (open the window) and let this set for as long as you can. Rinse well. (05/04/2009)

If you don't have bleach you can use vinegar. You can also use baking soda. Good Luck.

Krud Kutter will remove the mold overnight. Just spray on the surface and let it stand overnight. I get water in my garage when the rain is heavy and mold forms on the 'dry wall' and the wood frame it sits on. I spray the Krud Kutter on and the next day, mold is gone! Now I have to spray only 2-3 times a year! Buy it at Lowe's for about $13 a gallon. Works wonders on most everything else, very little smell, and doesn't irritate my very sensitive skin. Cleans everything from tar off vehicle, to burned on food in a pan! Really great to have around! (05/08/2009)
