\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Taking a shower really loses its sense of refreshment and relaxation when you have a moldy shower door frame. The problem is, cleaning a shower door frame can be difficult. The cracks and crevices between the glass and frame are great at harboring mold. Therefore, even when you\u2019ve cleaned away the visible mold, the small amount left behind can quickly spread again. How do you beat a moldy shower door frame? Let\u2019s find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove Mold from the Rest of the Shower<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To start the mold removal process, give your shower a good scrub. If there\u2019s a part of the shower you usually ignore, clean it. Mold spreads through spores, which float through the air. If there\u2019s any part of your shower that isn\u2019t being cleaned and may be harboring mold, the other parts of your shower will grow mold more quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clean the Moldy Shower Door Frame<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The next step will take some elbow grease and a bit of time. Start by mixing 1 part bleach to 4 parts water in a spray bottle. It\u2019s recommended you wear something over your mouth and nose while doing this, as the fumes aren\u2019t good to inhale and neither are mold spores. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lay a towel on the floor beneath your open shower door. Or, if your shower door is attached in a way that\u2019s easy to remove, you can also remove it and lay it flat on the floor. This method will be easier on your arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll want to work in small areas at a time to do this. Don\u2019t focus on the big picture; really focus your attention on a few inches of your shower door frame until that space is done, then move on to the next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spray some of the bleach solution on part of the shower door frame where it meets the glass. If your shower door is removed, you can take advantage of gravity but leaning the door against a nearby wall and working on the part of the frame at the bottom. By doing this, the bleach solution will have an easier time traveling down into the frame. Use a small brush, such as an old toothbrush, and scrub at the mold until it\u2019s completely gone. Try to get the bristles as far into the frame as you can to remove any hidden mold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019ve done this to the whole door frame, you may need to repeat the process. It depends on how bad the mold is. To do this, put the door into the shower and run hot water over it, washing away loose mold and dirt. Then repeat the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prevent Future Frame Mold<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want to keep the crevices of your shower door frame from getting moldy in the future, we have a solution. Once your shower door is completely clean, apply a clear caulk or sealant along the entire seam of the door frame. This will keep any future grime or mold growth limited to the surface of the glass or frame, making it easier to remove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buy a Frameless Shower Enclosure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Is this kind of deep cleaning something you\u2019re just not up to? Don\u2019t feel like applying an unattractive sealant to your shower door? Avoid the issue of door frame mold completely by buying a frameless shower enclosure. Frameless shower enclosures are sleek and provide fewer places for mold and bacteria to hide. You can get a complete enclosure<\/a> or just a door<\/a>, depending on how big your shower is.
