To remove the mold in caulk in shower you will need a few things listed below. You probably already have them at home.

  • An old toothbrush or small brush
  • a disposable cup,
  •  Baking Soda
  •  Bleach

If you don’t have a disposable cup you can also use a cup that you can throw out after you are done. You probably don’t want to use a cup after the bleach mix has set in it.

You also may want rubber gloves to wear on your hands and a face mask to help with smells depending on how bleach affects you.

You will also need about an hour to let the bleach mix set up on the mold.

Getting Started

Mix about 1/2 cup of bleach with about a cup of baking soda in a disposable cup.

You may want to do just a little at a time of each. The amounts you will need will vary based on what kind of bleach you use.
