Certainly it is enough of a problem here in relatively humid NE Kansas that there are loads of products sold in the stores to get rid of it. A good spray of a vinegar solution helps, as does clorox. However, the water from our bathroom goes straight outside into a small running- downhill-gray-water trench, so using clorox isn't so great.<br>
<br>I'm in fact looking for a solution that doesn't exist. A good scrubing lasts a long time. The walk-in shower is 3'x5', not a stall at all. The room in which it lives is large for a bathroom; in the winter the ambient temp is rather cool so I would love to enclose the shower area like the Sunfrost site suggests but I'm afraid I would only be asking for more mold problems.<br>
<br>Wonder how the Turkish bath folks keep mold out?<br><br>Sacie<br><br><br><div style="visibility: hidden; left: -5000px;" id="avg_ls_inline_popup"></div><style type="text/css">#avg_ls_inline_popup{position: absolute;z-index: 9999;padding: 0px 0px;margin-left: 0px;margin-top: 0px;overflow: hidden;word-wrap: break-word;color: black;font-size: 10px;text-align: left;line-height: 130%;}</style>
