I’m working with Tilex® on a paid basis, but my opinions are my own.
I don’t remember ever having a problem with mold and mildew when I was growing up in California. I’m sure my memory is incorrect, though I DID clean my fair share of bathtubs and showers for my weekly chores. That’s what happens when you’re the oldest kid in the house.
I may not have memories of mold and mildew from my childhood home, but – Boy-oh-Boy! – when moved to Maryland shortly after I got married, mold and mildew became something I was all too familiar with.
No matter how often I clean the shower, it seems that mold and mildew STILL creep up on me. And with my main shower (that all 7 of us share!) tiled with white tiles and white grout, EVERY little spec of mold and mildew show up and stand out like a sore thumb.
When I picked up Tilex® Mold and Mildew Remover, I didn’t know what to expect. I guess I would say that I was initially skeptical about it’s ability to make a huge difference.
I was blown away by what it was able to do.
My favorite part of Tilex® Mold and Mildew – by far – is the no scrubbing aspect. No scrubbing (!?!).
Who wouldn’t LOVE to get rid of mold and mildew in the bathroom…with no scrubbing?
Here’s a quick before and after of one of the top corners of my shower:
Facts About Mold and Mildew:
Are you nervous about having friends see the mold in your bathroom? Do you close the shower curtains to hide the mess like I do? Think your home is unique in it’s mold and mildew problems? Guess what? 100% of homes in the U.S. have mold!
- Mold shows up as as black stains in your grout or red stains on your shower curtain. As soon as you spot mold, it’s time to disinfect!
- Mold regrows quickly if it isn’t killed! Soap and detergents may remove mold stains initially but they are not enough to kill mold.
- Do you know why mold is so prevalent in bathrooms and basements? All mold needs to grow is a moist, room temperature environment and an organic food source to feed on. And it only takes 48 hours for mold to grow in the right conditions!
Did you know? Tilex® Mold and Mildew Remover contains Clorox® Bleach, and disinfects as it kills 99.9% of household mold and mildew on hard, nonporous surfaces. There is no scrubbing required – just spray it, let it sit for 5 minutes and rinse.

I think the location you live in really plays an important part in fighting mold and mildew. In Florida it is something that occurs and I keep my eyes open for it when cleaning.

The bathroom is one of my least favorite places to clean so I’m all for anything that makes my life easier.
