Understanding the Difference Between Mildew and Mold for Effective Cleaning

A lot of homeowners see dark spots in the bathroom and reach for the mildew spray. Sometimes that is exactly right.

Mildew is a surface fungus. It sits on top of non-porous materials like tile, glass, and tub surrounds, and a basic cleaner handles it.

Mold grows INTO porous materials like drywall, wood, grout, and caulk. Spray a cleaner on it and you kill what is on the surface while the root structure keeps going. That is why it comes back no matter how many times you treat it.

If it keeps returning, the problem is moisture. That is worth a free inspection. 🦠
