Now Trending: Get Rid of It ASAP!
That pink or red slime you see in your bathroom isn’t just gross; it’s actually a bacterium called Serratia marcescens. This bacterium thrives in damp areas, and while chlorine in city water typically helps prevent it, you might still encounter it if you have an activated charcoal filter, which removes chlorine, or if you use water from a private well that contains no chlorine.

Serratia marcescens has been linked to hospital infections like pneumonia, wound infections, and urinary tract infections, so it’s important to eliminate it as soon as possible.

How to Remove It
You can easily remove these stains with a general-purpose cleaner that contains chlorine bleach. For toilet slime, add 1/4 cup of bleach to the tank, let it sit for 20 minutes, then flush several times to ensure all the bleach is cleared out. Don’t leave bleach in the tank for too long, as it can damage rubber valves and seals.

Also, be sure to avoid common cleaning myths that might not be as effective as you think!
