What is that black disgusting growth in your shower? Black Mold Part II
Stachybotrys chartarum (try to say that fast three times) is a fungus commonly known as black mold. This fungus, which can sometimes grow indoors, appears as a greenish-black, slimy growth and spreads relentlessly in your bathroom.
Very few bathrooms escape the dreaded black mold fungus. Sooner or later it finds a nice damp corner of your shower and begins to grow. Slowly at first then before you know it it’s all over your beautiful bathroom.
The bigger it gets the faster it grows. It loves to follow the lines of silicon sealer and grout between ceramic tiles. This moldy pest seems to get inside the silicon sealer even the fungal resistant kind and will turn your lovely bathroom into a dirty pit if you don’t do something about it quickly.

I have a stand alone shower with two ceramic tile walls, and two glass walls.
Over the years I have replaced the sealant but I am not doing a good job keeping it clean.
I am looking for a way to clean the tile and grout, and replace the sealant. Also the bottom of the door is missing a seal.
Can you give me an idea what the costs would be?
Thank you
SJ
