Have you noticed a pink or orange film forming around your shower tiles, tub, or along the grout lines? You clean it, and it just keeps coming back. It’s not just soap residue — and no, it’s not mold either.

Let’s break it down.

💡 What Is the Pink Slime in Your Shower?

That pinkish hue is usually caused by a bacteria called Serratia marcescens. It thrives in damp, low-light, and soap-rich environments — making your bathroom the perfect spot. It often shows up on:

  • Shower tiles and grout
  • Bathtub corners
  • Around the toilet base
  • Inside your sink drains

Even though it looks alarming, it’s not harmful to most healthy people — but it’s definitely something you don’t want sticking around.

🧽 Why Does It Keep Coming Back?

Serratia feeds on soap scum, shampoo residue, and even your body oils. That’s why wiping it down doesn’t always stop it. Once it settles into grout lines or tile texture, it takes a deeper, more targeted clean to really eliminate it.

🔧 How We Can Help

At Juli’s Cleaning, we tackle pink bacteria at its source with professional-grade products and deep scrubbing techniques. We don’t just wipe the surface — we go after the buildup in:

  • Grout and tile crevices
  • Edges and corners most people miss
  • Ventilation areas to help reduce future growth

Plus, we can recommend after-care tips to keep the bacteria from returning so fast.
