What's the best method to remove mould in the shower?

Hello!

I’ve tried 3 different products and they all have failed to do what is needed. To remove the mould and make the grout ‘clean and bright’! The grout is just dirty and no longer white. Am I not cleaning it correctly? Any advise, suggestions, theories or tips, would greatly appreciated. I clean the bathroom often. OCD when it comes to a clean house!!

If products are not working, it may be time to regrout.

Tea tree oil will kill the mould and once it’s washed off, use bleach to whiten everything. Leave the bleach on for at least 10 minutes before washing it off. Repeat if needed.

Exit mould is great. Or bleach for a cheaper version. Sometimes the grouting is stained too badly, you may need to re-grout

bleach will only mask the mould, you need to get if off first and then treat

I would get in with a scrubbing brush and scratch the grout out and redo it with a mould resistant one

Domestos!!! best and only thing to clean your bathroom with. it will kill the mould. Make sure kiddies are away from the bathroom and that you have a window open when you do it. apply to the area, let it soak 10-15 mins ( or longer if needed) and then come back and scrub it off!

If it’s just the grout use Domestos, squirt it directly onto the mould & then leave it to dry. Scrub with wet scrubbing brush & rinse off. Repeat if necessary.
Bleach should work too, just pour it & leave it to dry.

Bicarb and vinegar doesn’t work on my grout but I’ll definitely try the clove oil. Just don’t use bleach too often as it actually breaks down the grout and you will then need to have it redone.

I agree bleach does exactly that -it bleaches the colour away but the spores are still there. I’m going to try the clove oil.Never heard of that before!

Nature Direct have a wonderful spray (pink coloured label) which inhibits mould growth. Good luck!
