- Shower curtains and liners (throw in the washing machine with baking soda and vinegar)
- Tile grout (scrub with a paste made from baking soda and water, then rinse with vinegar)
- Sink drains (pour in ½ cup baking soda followed by 1 cup vinegar, let fizz, then rinse with hot water)
4. 🌿 Place Natural Deodorizers
Activated charcoal or baking soda in an open container can absorb moisture and odors. Replace every few weeks.
Bonus idea: Place cotton balls soaked in essential oils (like tea tree, eucalyptus, or lavender) in discreet spots for a spa-like scent.
5. 🧺 Wash Towels and Bath Mats Often
Damp fabrics are mold magnets! Wash them weekly in hot water with a splash of vinegar to keep them fresh.
6. 💡 Prevent Future Mold Growth
- Fix leaks quickly—under the sink, around the toilet, or in the shower.
- Use mold-resistant paint or add a mold inhibitor when repainting.
- Wipe down wet surfaces after showers to stop moisture buildup.
