DESPERATE please help - black mould around shower

32 replies

I'm getting so desperate and fed up. We have black mould around our shower, we had it all redone and now it's in the process of all coming back. Please share your best tips on removing it that actually work! I've tried

Products specifically for black mould
Baking soda
Vinegar

None of these have helped at all. Do I need to leave them on for longer? Are there any particular tricks?

I'm scared of bleach because of the toxic fumes it can produce... But none of the non bleach options seem to actually work?

Is this a lost cause or can anyone help?

Thank you

  1. That doesn't happen if you don't mix iit with something.
  2. Some moulds produce toxic fumes.

Drying the shower after use will prevent it reoccurring.

@Mumofone2818 I'm assuming you don't realise that sterilising solution or tablet forms are also bleach?

HG Spray definitely. I've tried all the rest this really works!

HG spray
Bleach

Unless you're locking the children in the bathroom with you, it's fine.

Had an ongoing problem - getting a much bigger and more powerful extractor fan finally solved the issue.

Cif Perfect Finish Mould Stain Remover is amazing and only £2.00 in Home Bargains and Wilkinsons.
