Removing Black Mold From Your Bathroom
So you identified where the black mold has grown and it’s source of the problem. Let’s get to work on how you should get rid of it.
There are two types of mold problems:
- Small mold and mildew buildup in the shower and surfaces
- Water damaged materials that have mold growing
If you have small mold and mildew building up, like mold spots. Then you will just need to clean the surface of the problem. It is recommended to not use bleach, and try something organic.
Organic mold kit would be the best bet. If you have mold, you will want to remove the black mold, but also make sure it does not come back. The way you do this is to use a mold cleaner, then after the cleaner is used and the area is clean. Use a mold cleaner that will block mold growth from coming back. We in the mold industry call this encapsulation. This means, to trap the spores so they cannot liberate into any other part of the home.

If the mold has grown a bit out of control and the source of the problem is from bad building materials, now you are looking at mold remediation.
