Once your solution is ready, follow these steps:
First, spray or pour the mixture directly onto the silicone areas affected by mildew. Make sure the stains are fully covered so the solution can penetrate properly.
Then leave it to sit for around 30 minutes. This waiting time is important because it allows the solution to break down the mold buildup.
After that, use a toothbrush or small cleaning brush to gently scrub the silicone joints. Focus on the darker areas where mildew is most visible.
Finally, rinse the area with warm water and dry it thoroughly with a clean cloth.
Drying is important because moisture is what allows mildew to grow again.
🧽 Why This Method Works
This simple combination works because each ingredient plays a role:
Vinegar helps break down mold and disinfect surfaces
Baking soda acts as a gentle abrasive to lift stains
Warm water helps activate and spread the solution
Together, they create a natural cleaning effect that is strong enough for many light to moderate mildew stains.
