\"Serratia<\/a>

Pinks stains in toilet bowl.<\/p><\/div>\n

There are pink stains that appear in biofilm<\/a> in bathrooms and other areas of many houses. It will show up on the edges of bathtubs, on\u00a0shower\u00a0curtains, near taps, on ceramics, in toilet tanks or bowls, and even in water bowls used for pets. I frequently notice these stains in homes that seemed to have been meticulously cleaned and cared for.<\/p>\n

Many people\u00a0believe\u00a0it is minerals or other elements in the domestic water supply or some type mildew that are responsible\u00a0for the\u00a0pinkish-red stains. It turns out the culprit most of the time is a\u00a0bacteria\u00a0known as\u00a0serratia marcescens<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Serratia<\/a>

Serratia marcescens under a microscope.<\/p><\/div>\n

It is an airborne bacteria that is often present in soil and is introduced into the house through windows and other openings. \u00a0It is often found inside homes in new subdivisions. Likely the digging and turning up soil during construction is teasing the bacteria out into the air. The bacteria appears to be pathogenic <\/a>to some people therefore regular cleaning of the biofilm is advised.<\/p>\n

Here’s a website <\/a>that briefly\u00a0explains\u00a0the concept and how to keep the bacteria at bay. Along with regular cleaning it is also important\u00a0thing is to keep\u00a0standing\u00a0water on surfaces to a minimum. Shower squeegees<\/a> are used for this\u00a0purpose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
