You may be plagued with mold and mildew in your tub and shower area. It’s a very common problem. The good news is that if you’re willing to spend just 30 extra seconds once you’ve rinsed off all the body wash and shampoo from your hair, I can just about guarantee you’ll never have mold and mildew again.

Mold and mildew are much like fire. You need just three things to have a fire: fuel, heat, and oxygen. Remove any one of the three ingredients, and you’ll not have flames and smoke.
