The family bathroom can be one of the smelliest rooms in the house, but not for the reasons you may be thinking of. Mold and mildew love to grow in warm, damp bathroom, and the smell generated from the living organisms can make you want to lose your lunch.
Some homeowners don’t realize that mildew doesn’t grow exclusively on bathroom tile and grout. Rather, the ugly organism doesn’t discriminate and is able to grow and prosper on items such as clothing, shower curtains and upholstery. Since most people don’t place sofas in their bathrooms, they might not realize that there are a number of fabrics where mildew develops easily:
*Cotton
*Rayon
*Linen
*Leather
*Wool
Fortunately, there are a variety of commercial cleaners specifically designed to rid your bathroom from nasty mildew. For example, Armada MightyBrite Non-Toxic Mildew Stain Remover has done wonders for my bathrooms. The cleaner is sold in powder form. I own a 16-ounce container that has lasted me roughly a year. The mildew remover makes up to four gallons of a super powerful cleaning solution.
The reason I purchased it was because my neighbor claimed it was more powerful than chlorine bleach and I must say that it does a fabulous job removing mildew stains. It certainly isn’t less effective than bleach. I also love that it doesn’t cause fabric to discolor or fade, even with repeated use. This is especially true with shower curtains. The product works like a charm. What’s more, you can use it outside of the bathroom as well. Armada MightyBrite Non-Toxic Mildew Stain Remover is safe to use on:
*Flags
*Awnings
*Cushions
*Canvas
*Umbrellas
*Throw rugs
Regardless of what you are using it on, you should always test the cleaner on a small hidden area on the item you are cleaning to make sure it does not damage the material.
