For mold on anti-slip tiles, you should first spray with a mold remover and lay down paper for a twenty-minute wet compress to soften it, then scrub with a soft brush following the texture. After cleaning, be sure to rinse off standing water completely and maintain ventilation to prevent mold from regenerating. Fragile materials or stubborn mold stains should be entrusted to professionals for handling.

Hard brushes can easily damage the tile glaze. It is recommended to spray on cleaning agent, lay down kitchen paper towels to soak and let stand, allowing the ingredients to penetrate the texture and soften the dirt, which can significantly improve cleaning efficiency.

Daily prevention strategies
Washing away residual foam on the ground after showering every day, combined with operating the exhaust fan, is the most economical means of preventing mold. If mold spots have already penetrated tile grout or the material is relatively expensive, it is not advisable to scrub it violently yourself.
