The Fastest Way to Get Rid of Shower Silicone Mildew

⚡ Step-by-Step: The Fastest Cleaning Method

  1. Dry the Area
    Use a  towel to dry the  silicone area completely. Mold won’t lift properly if the surface is wet.

  2. Soak the Cotton
    Soak cotton balls or strips in bleach or hydrogen peroxide. (Bleach is stronger, but peroxide is a good non-toxic alternative.)

  3. Apply Along the Silicone
    Press the soaked cotton firmly against the moldy silicone. Line the entire moldy area and make sure the cotton is in direct contact with the mildew.

  4. Let it Sit
    Leave the cotton on for at least 6–8 hours, or overnight for best results. This gives the solution time to break down deep mold growth inside the silicone.

  5. Remove and Rinse
    Take off the cotton, then rinse the area thoroughly. If any residue remains, use an old toothbrush to gently scrub it away.

  6. Dry Completely
    Always dry the silicone completely after cleaning. Moisture is mold’s best friend!

    Bathroom renovations

  • Wipe down your shower daily with a squeegee or towel.

  • Spray a weekly mix of vinegar and water as a natural mold deterrent.
