Shower Mold Removal - Super Easy Cleaning Hack

Күн бұрын

This is a brilliant little life hack that will kill ugly black mould.
We've been asked how to remove black mould from the silicone around shower trays many times and the solution is almost too easy to believe because it doesn't involve any scrubbing or elbow grease.
You will need some bleach, toilet or kitchen roll, gloves if you like having healthy skin unlike Roger and a few hours where you don't need to use the shower.
There's a great article over at WikiHow which goes into great detail on How to Remove Bathroom Mold.

@@SkillBuilder I have old regular cement, and after decades of tests with different paints and solvents, to harden that cement so that mold would not can get a grip on it I gave up and last year I used chlorine, I assume is the same stuff, since is used for bleaching too. Did not poured so much as you, but simple spraying it with a window solution sprayer. It killed it in few minutes. Maybe the solution I used is stronger, it says hypoclorine or something like that 3% solution. and kind of burns the skin. on the hand not visible since is tougher. However the sprayer is dangerous because you can breath the stuff. Once I made the mistake to spray too much, and my lungs did not liked it. Since then I spray fast and keep my breath till I leave the room.

Tried this not so long ago, if you have a vent fan or bathroom window I strongly advise keep them open. The bleach not only does it smell strong it stings the eyes for hours just the fumes im referring to. Be very careful. Keep the shower door & bathroom door closed because its rather nasty. On a positive this method works quite well!

@Flashahol 2 жыл бұрын

Be careful not to mix bleach with other chemicals. Just a trace of vinegar mixed with a bit of bleach in a bucket full of water will sting your eyes for hours. Ask how I know...

Hi. Have you got any suggestions for what you’d use on a shower with those matte, semi-porous tiles? I’ve used bleach before, and if you leave it too long, it stains the (dark grey) tiles and is nearly impossible to get the stains out. I’ve got a glass screen that goes all the way to the floor/tiles. Cheers.

Pulled off the paper and the mold was gone...silicone looks good as new, and still stuck to the fiberglass. Saved me a lot of time, a lot of struggling in the shower, and the cost of the silicone.
