After the unforgettable pinkish slime incident in the bathroom at my grandparents’ house, I became quite nervous and panicky about mold and other similar nuisances. If you’ve ever dealt with it, you’ll know—you don’t want mold and dangerous bacteria thriving on your bathroom walls.

Bathrooms, by their very nature, get wet all the time. They’re damp, steamy environments even though I try to clean mine often. But let’s be honest, it’s challenging to scrub those walls daily, right? Between work, family, and a bit of a social life, it’s almost impossible. That’s when mold finds its perfect chance to thrive.

So after my run-in with pink mold, which I managed to combat successfully after a bit of research and a lot of elbow grease, you can imagine my concern when a friend mentioned noticing some yellow stuff dripping down her bathroom walls. Well, me, once again panicking a lot when it comes to mold, wanted to find out what it was immediately.
