How to Get Rid of Black Stains From Bleach on Tile

Bathroom tile often gets black streaks caused by mold and mildew.

Black stains on tile and the grout between the tiles are probably caused from mold or mildew build-up. Mold and mildew is common in bathrooms around the world due to the warmth and humidity of such rooms. As long as you don't have colored grout you can use a solution of bleach to clean the black stains on your tile. The bleach will also kill the mildew and mold spores on the tile as well.

Things You'll Need

• Bleach
• Spray bottle
• Cloth

Instructions

1. Fill the spray bottle with a one-to-one ratio of water and bleach. Shake the bottle to mix well.

2. Ventilate the room by opening a window or turning on a fan.

3. Spray the black stained area and let it sit for about 30 minutes, then spray it again.

4. Wet a cloth with warm water and wipe up the bleach mixture from the tile to remove the black stains completely. Rinse the area well to remove all the bleach.
