How to Get Out Mildew in the Shower With Hydrogen Peroxide

Clean shower tiles and the flooring inexpensively with hydrogen peroxide.

The antibacterial and disinfecting properties in hydrogen peroxide make the solution an effective cleaning agent for your shower. Hydrogen peroxide is available at drug stores as well as supermarkets, typically packed in a brown plastic bottle. Ounce for ounce, hydrogen peroxide is typically cheaper than commercial cleaning products for removing mildew. You won't waste any of the solution if you pour it into a plastic bottle with a trigger sprayer. Cap the bottle after each use so the hydrogen peroxide cannot evaporate.

Things You'll Need

• Plastic bottle with trigger sprayer
• Sponge
• Old toothbrush

Instructions

1. Fill the sprayer container with hydrogen peroxide and screw on the spray trigger.

2. Spray the solution on shower walls, tiles and flooring. Spray into tile grout.

3. Wipe the shower clean with a sponge. Use an old toothbrush to scrub mildew out of tile grout.
