Through daily use the bathroom is exposed to constant stress. When taking hot showers, the humidity created attacks the walls of the room, which can cause dangerous mold growth if ventilation is insufficient. Mold loves warm, humid conditions and spreads not only on the walls but also in the tile joints or on silicone seals. Tile joints protect gaps from water penetration and are naturally the most exposed in the bathroom. The silicone becomes brittle and cracked over time - providing a breeding ground for mold.
You can recognise mold by the black discolouration. If this is the case, you should replace the joints. If you are handy, you can do this yourself. In the case of smaller stains, you can remove the mold yourself with simple tricks. If there is only yellowing, it is not necessary to replace or clean the mold. The yellowed grout can be easily cleaned with a proven household remedy.
This is how it works:
While cleaning check whether cracks have already formed in the joint. If black mould is also growing in it, you should think about replacing the putty joints. Below we explain how you can replace the joints yourself with a little manual skill.
If you have discovered black stains, you should act - because mold is harmful to health and destroys the fabric of the building. You can treat small stains yourself before you replace the putty joints or call in a professional.
