A good step in prevention is to keep the window open or a fan running when showering or bathing. You could also wipe the walls down with a towel or use a squeegee to keep the walls dry. Here are some recipes for cleaning mildew: *Non Toxic Mildew Remover 1/2 cup vinegar 1/2 cup borax 2 cups water Combine in a spray bottle. Spray on dirty areas of bathtubs, shower curtains, or tile; let sit 5 minutes then scrub with a cloth. *Strong Bleach Mildew Remover Good for big cleaning projects. Effective for removing mildew in the bathroom. 2 quarts water 1 quart chlorine bleach 1 tablespoon laundry detergent (powdered) Apply to mildew. Use rubber gloves and use in a well ventilated area. As bleach is toxic, use care whenever using it. This recipe should only be used when nothing else has worked. Any other ideas how to remove mildew without bleach? Susan Report Spam or Abuse
