The rental I’m in came with my shower being covered in mold 💀 I’ve worked to clean a lot of it out but ofc it’s in the railings

I want to do a big effort to clean it all out for good, but one thing I’m stuck on is, how do I clean the railings out? Ofc I know to scrub in there and stuff, but they’re so close to the ground, and the wastewater for that has to go somewhere. Is there a tool for handling this? Should I rent/buy a wet vac? Is my best options to just layer towels on the floor and wash them in vinegar afterwards? 😭

    I treat it like cleaning the trim around windows.

    Spray a spray cleaner. Doesn’t have to drown it - just get every moldy surface wet. Bleach solution is great (don’t get it on you). Windex is pretty effective, too.

    Let it sit for a few minutes to soften everything up, then get in there with cotton swabs and paper towels.

    It seems daunting, but that first paper towel and swab are going to already remove like 80% of the filth, and the rest after that is just detail work for as long as you can stand it.
