Okay, I've searched in tags for mold, mould, and showers... How do I get my shower to be less mouldy? I use Exit Mould frequently, but to no avail. Worse is... in the other shower, when it goes around the drain, if the Exit Mould goes on it, all this gross black stuff develops. No idea what the hell it is, because it's not black before I spray it. Help? Mould is actually a phobia of mine! I CAN'T TOUCH THE SHOWER WALLS BECAUSE IT FREAKS ME OUT SO MUCH!

OK, if you’re frequently getting mold, this suggests a couple of things: your bathroom stays humid too long and you have poor ventilation. If you have a bathroom fan, run it longer than seems necessary. If you have a window, keep it open, and perhaps even put a fan in it pointing outside as an exhaust.

Most commercial mold sprays have bleach in them. You can take a (clean) spray bottle and fill it with a 1:10 bleach/water mixture and use this to clean. Your goal is to prevent the mold/mildew from forming in the first place. So start with a good scrubbing with the bleach solution (wear gloves and make sure there’s plenty of ventilation). Then every time after using the shower, wipe down the excess water left and give a pre-emptive spray with either a weak bleach solution or straight white vinegar (not both). Ventilation is important!

My life would be complete if I could somehow sync everything for Australian time XD It’s 9pm here, and I’m like “Hmmm, should I reallllly make my bed now?” :P

There are some good suggestions on things you can do in different time zones here.
