Will thin bleach help get rid of slight mould in bathroom?

I was planning on putting it in a spray bottle and spraying it on the walls/tiles where the mould is and leaving it for a while before scrubbing.

If not thin bleach what about disinfectant?

Also should I leave the bathroom window open for a bit?

In the grout, I use undiluted bleach and a toothbrush

I leave it for an hour or so then wash off

If that doesn't work for you then Dettol Mould and Mildew Remover is very good. DH has to do it though as the fumes are so strong it gives me sinusitus.

Bran, I have been on at DH to do ours for ages. I am pg and don't particularly want to have to do it but I have just had a shower and it can no longer be ignored

I have an industrial face mask which my dad got me when I was pg with DD for painting so I am going to use that lol.

I used domestos grot buster, just squirted it on and left it, no scrubbing or anything, brilliant stuff, (was a thread about it a few days ago) am also pg so it was good to just put it on and leave it with windows open, really is amazing stuff and I'm not someone who gets that enthusiastic about cleaning materials!

Another vote for Dettol mould remover (green bottle). It's the best thing we've tried here.

i use the dettol mould remover too, but if ive ran out sometimes use milton sterilising fluid.

I got some of the dettol mould and mildew remover, and used it on our shower cubicle....It's great stuff. I am never gonna be without it in my cleaning cupboard now.
