Keep bathroom areas dry and well-ventilated to prevent mold return.
Regularly clean silicone seals with vinegar spray once a week for maintenance.
Store leftover cleaning solution in a labeled spray bottle away from children.
Variations
Use straight hydrogen peroxide for tougher mold without mixing with baking soda.
Commercial mold removers can be used if natural solutions don’t fully clean — always follow label instructions and ventilate well.
For non-porous silicone, a diluted bleach solution (1 part bleach to 10 parts water) can be applied briefly and rinsed thoroughly, but avoid on colored silicone.
FAQ
Q: Can I use bleach instead of vinegar or hydrogen peroxide?
A: Yes, but bleach should be diluted, used carefully, and rinsed well. It’s harsher and can discolor some silicone.
Q: Is this method safe for all bathroom silicone?
A: Yes, vinegar and hydrogen peroxide are generally safe for silicone seals but test a small area first.
Q: How often should I clean my silicone seals?
A: Ideally once a week to prevent mold and mildew buildup.
