Spray the vinegar and baking soda solution directly onto the silicone. For an even more powerful effect, pour more baking soda onto the surface.
Wait about 30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
If possible, you can use an old toothbrush while you wait to help remove mold. Do not use too much force, the bristles may damage the silicone.
A faster way to get rid of silicone mold
If you can’t wait the 30 minutes of the previous remedy, try moistening cotton balls with bleach and placing them on the mold.
Leave the bleach-soaked balls on for 5 minutes, then remove and throw them away.
Remember to use gloves when applying this method.
How to prevent mold from forming
Open the bathroom window often to let it air out, especially after taking a shower.
Dry damp surfaces thoroughly with a dry cloth. This will greatly limit excess humidity.
Beyond the aesthetic factor, removing mold from the bathroom is a real health issue, since many respiratory problems are linked to the presence of mold in the home.
