Rochelle asked:
I’m living in Africa without a lot of the luxuries like household chemicals that I’d normally find in the States. And my bathroom shower mat and my washing machine (rubber seals and all) have developed a HUGE amount of mold and mildew. It’s so disgusting. How can I get rid of it without access to many chemicals like CLR, etc? Any other ideas?

If you can get clorine bleach that works great. If not then use tea tree oil and wipe everything down liberally with it (mixed with water and a little alcohol as an emulsifier)
Can you get Chlorine Bleach? You can run a cycle through your machine with you mat in it if it will fit. Use hot water and about 2 or 3 cups bleach. If you can’t get it, Try a gallon of Vinegar or a couple bottles of cheap, strong alcohol. If you simply can’t get any of those things, try a really really strong salt water wash. With any or these, put 3 or 4 old towels in the machine too to rub the junk off. Bleach will work the best, but any of these will help, in not get rid of all of it.
Bleach is your best bet. Also, it sounds like you don’t have enough air circulating in the bathroom. After a shower, put a fan into the doorway to help dry your bathroom out, and prevent new mold growth.
I would use vineagar, which works as a disinfectant and cleanser.
install a draw fan in the cieling, with a hose leading to the out side in the attic to the outer wall. set a box fan in the door way for several days and let it dry the room good. spray the mold and mildew with clorox bleach from time to time. there are many things you can do. mold and mildew are no match for lemon juice. make a paste of 1 part lemon juice and 1 part boax rud on to the mold or mildew allow to dry then rinse good with clear water.
Vinegar…… vinegar kills germs!!!!
Bleach should do the trick, put in a spray bottle and spray the areas well, after washing clothes leave the lid on your washer open so it will dry out.
