Keep areas dry and well-ventilated.
Fix leaks promptly.
Use dehumidifiers in damp rooms.
Clean surfaces regularly with vinegar or mild detergent.
Bottom Line:
Use bleach for quick cleanup on non-porous surfaces like tiles, bathtubs, or countertops.
Use vinegar for porous surfaces or long-term mold prevention where safety and eco-friendliness matter.
In stubborn cases, a combination approach (vinegar first, bleach on non-porous surfaces) can be effective.
