Grout mould help!

We have a survey on our house on Tuesday and I’m trying to rid us of mouldy grout in the shower. Things have progressed really quickly with the house sale otherwise we would’ve had it redone but there isn’t time.
I’m wary of using proper mould sprays as I’m pregnant and they smell really strong, I’ve scrubbed it with bleach and bicarb paste and it hasn’t made much difference. Anything else I can try? The buyer has been very thorough with repairs etc even before the survey so I do think they’ll pick up on something this minor if it’s on the survey

I got Kilrock mould remover with a brush on the end from Home Bargains, its the best I've used for grout.

HG mould remover spray.
Spray, leave 30 minutes and rinse off.
Get someone else to do it, because it reeks.

I panicked and threw neat bleach all over the wall like I was doing a Big Art Attack

Agree with this spray. We always have some in the cupboard!

It worked! Sod the precision applying with a toothbrush and just chuck bleach everywhere! Thanks for all the suggestions too!
