Overview

A professional cleaner named Sergio is asked why mold keeps returning in a shower. He explains that using bleach is a common mistake because it doesn't kill the mold's root on porous surfaces. He then demonstrates how to create an effective DIY cleaning solution using warm water, dish soap, hydrogen peroxide, and baking soda, explaining the function of each ingredient. Finally, he instructs the viewer to spray the solution on the mold, let it sit for 10-15 minutes, and then scrub it with a brush.

Transcript

Sergio, why does mold keep coming back in my shower even after I clean it? How do you normally clean it? I spray bleach, scrub with a sponge, and rinse it off. Well, that is one of the biggest mistake people make when cleaning mold and exactly why it keeps coming back. How? Bleach can make the mold stains look better, best on porous grout and caulk, it doesn't always reach the root of the mold. Reason why, after you clean your shower, it looks clean for a while, but mold comes right back. So what should I do instead? Come. I'll show you. Add two cups of warm water, one tablespoon of dish soap, one quarter of a cup of hydrogen peroxide, and two tablespoons of baking soda into a spray bottle. The hydrogen peroxide helps treat the mold stains. The dish soap cuts through soap scum and body oils, and the baking soda loosens tough grime. And then what? Spray it on your moldy grout, hot, tile, and shower corners. And let it sit ten to fifteen minutes. Then, scrub with the medium bristle brush.
