Here is the real secret: you have to get ahead of it. Once you have removed it, then you have to dry stuff up. Wipe down the walls of the shower. Make sure you are running that fan. Open a window. Do whatever you need to do to keep your bathroom from being a tropical rainforest. If moisture keeps coming back no matter what you try, it might be worth considering bathroom remodeling to improve ventilation and prevent these damp problem areas from forming in the first place.
And for the toilet? Oddly, you see the slime show up there — especially if you check the inside of the tank. To preempt this nonsense, add about a quarter cup of bleach to the tank, let it sit there for about 20 minutes and then flush it all down. Maintenance done.
So yeah, pink slime. Gross, but not the end of the world. It’s mainly what happens when bacteria, moisture and soap scum throw a party on the surfaces of your bathroom. Take the time to clean it, bleach it, dry it and perhaps remind yourself to sometimes rinse off your shampoo bottle.
And while you are at it, go to that one spot in your bathroom that you have not cleaned forever and check it. You know the one. Everyone has one. Just saying.
