Black spots in grout, silicone sealant, and ceiling corners are a common bathroom problem. Mold isn’t just unsightly: it can affect your health and damage surfaces. Mold removal works best with a specialized product and by eliminating the source of the moisture.
Why Does Mold Grow in the Bathroom?
Mold needs moisture, warmth, and food (soap residue, dirt) to grow. If the bathroom is poorly ventilated and surfaces stay wet after showering, mold has ideal conditions.
Mold Removal, Step by Step
- Ventilate the room and put on gloves, for example nitrile gloves.
- Apply the product to the mold. TENZI Środek Pleśniobójczy is a ready-to-use chlorine-based product that removes mold, fungi, and dark stains from walls, tiles, grout, and hard-to-reach areas.
- Let it work for the time stated on the product data sheet.
- Clean the grout with a brush. If the grout is dark and dirty, Fugi i Spoiny helps restore its original color.
- Rinse and dry the surface.
Safety: Be Sure to Read This
- Never mix chlorine-based products with acidic products (such as limescale removers), as this releases a dangerous gas.
- Wear gloves and ventilate the room during and after the work.
- Protect colored fabrics and sensitive surfaces, as chlorine can bleach them.
- Read the safety data sheet before use.
How to Keep Mold from Coming Back
- air out the bathroom after every shower and leave the door open;
- wipe shower walls and glass dry with a rubber squeegee;
- clean bathroom surfaces regularly; TOALEX is a good choice for toilets and sanitary surfaces;
- check that the ventilation is working properly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if there’s mold in the silicone?
Surface mold can be removed, but if the mold has grown into the silicone, the best solution is to replace the silicone.
Can I remove mold with vinegar?
Vinegar can reduce surface growth, but it doesn’t remove dark stains or work deeper down. A specialized product is more effective.
