  Stop Moldy Toilets
 
About a week after moving into our rental, I noticed mold was starting to grow inside the toilet bowl. I grabbed the scrub brush and tried to clean it out. For the next couple days, I found myself scrubbing that toilet bowl. It was so gross! It didn’t matter how often I scrubbed it, the mold was growing faster than I could keep up with.
 
YUCK!
 
One morning, I woke up and told Mark I was going to get that toilet cleaned by the end of the day no matter what it took. Turns out, he had the same thought (yes I have an awesome husband).
 
Mark’s solution was a bit more educational than mine. He deduced that there must be something like calcium deposits in our toilet. So he grabbed Lime-A-Way and poured it into the toilet tank.  That way, every time we flushed, we’d get a coating of Lime-A-Way in the bowl. 

Ok I thought, that might work, however, I still needed to scrub the new layer of mold off. I took my trusty Comet, and scrub brush, and headed to the bathroom. The Lime-A-Way had already been at work! One coating of Comet and the mold came right off.

I kept my eye on the toilet the next couple days, waiting for the mold to come back, but it never did!! 
 

Thank you Lime-A-Way!! 

Two weeks later, a small patch of mold was returning, so I added a couple more squirts of Lime-A-Way to the tank, scrubbed the inside of the bowl, and our toilet was clean again.

If you are having a mold problem as bad as mine, I suggest calling a plumber as well as using the Lime-A-Way and Comet. There is very possibly something else going on to cause such a large mold build up. Since we were renting, we chose to stick with cleaning it ourselves until the landlord chose to hire a professional.

  1. I live in an old house and we even get mold growing on the walls when it is damp. Bleach seems to be the only way I've found effective to totally kill mold spores. There are bleach tablets you can put in the toilet that will keep the mold from coming back. Sorry to hear yet another annoying thing about your rental.

  7. You can use the extractor fan get out the bad smell in the window. We use bathroom sprays/ air fresheners, lime- A- a way which I recently learned that some, if not most employ carcinogens and other chemicals which are very harmful. So I’d rather now invest in good ventilation system than rely on bathroom cleaner.

  8. Hi, thanks for sharing this wonderful information. I think having an air purifier at home is one of the easiest and the best solution for dealing with bad smells, smoke, and allergies in the air around us at home. I use H13 Medical-grade HEPA filter and activated carbon filter for killing germs, bacteria, and smoke. I felt a significant difference in air quality after I install the air purifier.

  47. White Mochas are always my go-to also. I made this sauce and added it to my coffee. Unfortunately, I don’t actually use milk in my lattes/coffee drinks. I use some sort of milk alternative b/c I dislike the taste of milk. This sauce tasted too much like sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk to me. Not enough white chocolate flavor. Not sure if it is b/c I used Ghiradelli White chocolate chips instead of the wafers or what. I will probably have to use this sauce for some sort of dessert or something. Was worth a shot to try and recreate instead of buying the sauce.
