We have a glass block window in one of our shower walls. The cement
is turning black with what I assume is mold. Does anyone have a
suggestion on how to treat this?

Thanks.

As mentioned, chlorine bleach will work as well as anything. If the mold is
really bad, it might take a few treatments. Initially, you might want to
spray the surface and then put some plastic wrap against the wet surface to
keep it moist for an extended time. After a few hours, removed the plastic
and rinse the surface, scrubbing off any stubborn areas. Keep repeating the
treatment until the stains are gone. I find that the shower mists, like
Fresh Shower, are pretty good at reducing the mold problem, but
periodically, I have to spray down the shower with bleach. Improving air
circulation also helps reduce the problem. The faster the shower dies, the
less mold.
