Don’t forget to wear gloves to protect the skin from the bleach. Immerse a hefty sponge into the solution of bleach and water. For larger areas, use a mop instead. Begin from the upper corner of the wall and rinse the walls working from the top to bottom. Wash the sponge regularly.
If the walls are tiled, you can use tough bristles. Scrub the grout using toothbrush to eliminate the mold and mildew in minor areas.
Use cotton swabs to eliminate any residual mildew.
Let the bathroom dry and keep the windows open for about 30 minutes.
