My dad introduced me to something called "elbow grease' & tsp a powdered cleaner that you use exactly as directed. It can be found in any hardware store, he said " the elbow grease is free" & the tsp shouldn't cost more than 3.00 for a small (only size I've seen) box.
Mildew or black mold is caused by dampness. 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.
