Steamatic Solutions for a Safe and Mold-Free Shower
Many people avoid cleaning the shower. When there's no filth in sight, this chore stays out of mind. Who actually wants to get on all fours and scrub away, anyway? However, showers can be a breeding grounds for bacteria, fungi, mold, and mildew, so cleaning your shower (and cleaning it right!) is crucial. This is even more true for shared bathrooms. Steamatic guides you through the best and most effective ways of ridding your shower of unwanted bacteria and germs.
Homemade Shower Cleaning Recipes
There are a wide variety of store bought cleansers available, but who can argue against the natural, homemade remedies that pack punch? Simply mix a 50/50 solution of vinegar and warm water in a spray bottle. Spray on areas that need to be cleaned (this can be used on all areas of the bathroom). Let sit for a few minutes and then wipe away! Simple as that. Vinegar is acidic, antibacterial, antiviral, and a germ fighter, which helps sanitize your shower. It also is a deodorizer, which will remove odours.

For this, we will continue to use vinegar, because it is such an effective and natural remedy. Mix a ratio of 2:1 white vinegar and warm water. Add a tablespoon of dish detergent. Shake and spray on hard water stains. This will need to sit longer; at least half an hour. Then, rinse and wipe.
Mold and Mildew Cleaning
If you have mold or mildew growing in your shower, there are steps you can take to rid yourself of these issues. Mix 1/4 cup bleach and 3/4 cup water in a spray bottle. Spray on the affected area. Let is sit for a few minutes and then scrub, rinse, and dry. Make sure to have some windows open and the bathroom fan on when using bleach and ammonia. It can cause eye irritation.
