Penfold007 · 27/07/2017 17:13

Tryingtoconceive2years · 27/07/2017 17:17

I've just done my shower like this. I bought a Kg of bicarbonate from Amazon and mixed a paste with regular thick bleach. I spread it on with an old toothbrush and it started working immediately.

It's feckin wonderstuff.

The grout is like new, seriously like new and it's 15 years old. It even got rid of black mould in the silicone sealant. The mould took 24 hours to shift the grout took a couple of hours.

I posted about bicarb and bleach a month or so ago.

Am I sad for hoping it was my post you saw!? Blush

MozzchopsThirty · 30/07/2017 09:59

Or just buy HG spray from Homebase

Much easier, I do my bathroom fortnightly with it then just normal clean in between

No mould at all in my bathroom

msrisotto · 30/07/2017 10:05

I'm a massive fan of bleach and bicarb for mould. I tend to leave it overnight or all day.

GrubbyWindows · 30/07/2017 16:27

I just had grey grout put in when we tiled...

Katisha · 30/12/2017 15:20

I've had this thread saved for months until I felt up to having a go at the shower... well it's miraculous and better than anything shop bought! it's now like new grout!
I'm now eyeing up the rest of the house with the leftover paste...

Thinkingofausername1 · 01/01/2018 20:27

Ooh will have to try that

tiffanysfanny · 01/01/2018 21:54

You can never get it wrong with this one.

Is it just grout it works on, do you reckon, or could I I try applying it to a moldy wall? Will it eat my wall if I do? Grin

retirednow · 01/01/2018 22:03

Would it work on window sealant which has gone black

RJnomore1 · 01/01/2018 22:06

Steamer with the wire brush attachment and a normal bathroom spray works wonders without needing bleach.

RJnomore1 · 01/01/2018 22:08

Retired you can get a sealant remover gel, and a special shaped tool, just put the gel on leave an hour, scrape the resulting paste off and thoroughly clean behind then reseal.

retirednow · 01/01/2018 22:10

RJ, thanks, will give it a try.

rainbowduck · 01/01/2018 22:12

Cillit bang is horrific stuff. So bad for the environment.

ScrubbyGarden · 01/01/2018 22:19

To be fair, so is bleach

LoveProsecco · 01/01/2018 22:36

Amazing Star

Katisha · 01/01/2018 23:49

The bleach and bicarbonate combo has worked better than any mound remover I've bought though. And it did the sealant round the window which had gone black in places.
