Dark patches of mold can creep up on the walls of your bathroom, especially if you don’t have a strong fan sucking out the steam created by daily baths and showers. You can get rid of it with strong bleach or other harsh disinfectants, but those products can take away the paint along with the mold! Here’s how to get rid of the black in the corners of your bathroom: Add one cup of lemon juice and one cup of table salt to one gallon of hot water. Mix well (the salt does not have to dissolve completely). Use this solution to wipe the moldy and/or mildewed areas thoroughly. Wipe completely dry with a clean cloth.
