We get black mould so easily in the bathroom. As I'm pg I am in a picky nesting phase so it really bugs me.

Do I need to be less of a slattern or can I eradicate it once an then keep it away?
It must be gone!!!

God have lived in so many places in the past with same problem..

Wipe with bleach (diluted with water), or i prefer Ecover laundry bleach dissolved in hot water, with a couple of drops of tea tree oil.
The mould is fungal, tea tree is anti fungal and smells better then bogstandard bleach!

Also fungus thrives in damp moist conditions, so open bathroom window whenever poss!

Ventilation. Have you got an extractor fan? And open windows and prop door open as Jellyket says.

The dettol mould and mildew spray is very powerful. It doesn't eradicate mould but does keep it at bay for several months. I'd wear old clothes when you use it though - the last bottle I used had a dodgy spray nozzle and ruined two pairs of trousers.

Dulux paint for bathrooms worked brilliantly in our bathroom. We rent our house as a holiday let and the guests would never leave the window open so mould was always developing. This is the thing that worked for us

We open windows after showers in morning but can't after Ds bath as it's just too bloody cold!
I've been doing the usual bleach type sprays so will persevere with that.
