∙ 14y agoMildew may be cleaned from bathtub caulk and bathroom walls the same way. If the mildew extends below the caulk, however, there is no point in cleaning it; it will soon return. Better to remove the old caulk and apply new. For walls, there is less chance for mildew to develop if the walls are painted with a high gloss finish rather than matte. For tile grout, try using a commercial spray-on mold and mildew remover. Run the bathroom exhaust fan while taking showers or running the bath to slow the development of mildew.

How do you eliminate stains in a shower stall?
Most shower stains are either mildew or soap scum (which is a combination of product and lime build up). If I start getting stains in the shower, I use comet to scrub the tub down. Let it sit for a while, and then rinse it out very thoroughly. When you are finished, if the stains are still there, try Lime-A-Way. It also works on your shower head! Black stains on tile are typically caused by mildew, an air-borne fungus that thrives in humid locations. Use a weak concentration of chlorine bleach in a spray bottle, but make sure the shower gets plenty of air when you do that, the chlorine can cause you somee problems if it gets too strong. Use 5% to 10% chlorine bleach in water and spray it directly on the mildew. If it dries out too quickly, you may need to use some tissue to keep it wet longer. Spray the mixture on the tissue and bunch up the wet tissue over the stains. If the stains are white, brown or green or basically any color except black, it might be mineral stains and you'll need to use something like CLR to get the stuff off.
