Top Tips for De-Moulding the Grouting on my Shower

10 replies

Being somewhat of a slattern I have let things slide in my shower.

The grouting between the tiles has a fair bit of black mould on it. I've tried soaking it in bleach then using a toothbrush but to no avail.

Any other tips??

dettol mould and mildew remover is good. comes in a green bottle, smells very bleach-y but muct have somehting else in there as shifts mould better than bleach. spray and leave - then shower off, no scrubbing involved. just make sure you open windows and close the door as it is very strong and fume-y.

others on here have recommended HG mould remover also.

I think it is called HG mould remover. I second the dettol could and mildew remover though

Domestos grotbuster is also very good. It's very thick so clings to the grout rather than running off like normal bleach tends to do.

Cheapy version: Astonish Mould and Mildew Remover is also great.

I used bleach on ours to clean the tiles (and everything else) once, I don't usually - and realised a while later that all the grouting was sparkling white.

I think you must use it in a strength that makes you hold your breath, and also, leave it on. I sprayed it I think in a solution with water.

Bleach. Works a treat!
