Black or green patches around bathroom tiles, ceilings and window corners may be mould. Mould grows where moisture remains for long periods, especially in poorly ventilated spaces.
1. Improve ventilation: Open windows or use an extractor fan after bathing.
2. Dry wet surfaces: Wipe water from tiles, shower doors and bathroom corners.
3. Repair leaking pipes: Constant moisture encourages mould growth.
4. Clean small patches safely: Use an appropriate mould-cleaning product according to its label.
5. Wear protective gloves: Avoid direct contact with mould and cleaning chemicals.
6. Reduce bathroom humidity: Allow wet towels and bath mats to dry properly.
7. Seek professional help for extensive mould: Large areas or mould inside walls may require specialist treatment.
Final thoughts: Mould can trigger allergies and breathing problems in some people. Never mix bleach with vinegar, ammonia or other cleaning products. If mould keeps returning, find and fix the source of moisture rather than repeatedly cleaning the surface.
