In this video I clean my mouldy shower grout with no scrubbing in 15 minutes. This home made mix cleans grout and tile in about 15 minutes with no scrubbing and works REALLY well. You will learn how to clean shower grout, and how to clean mould in a shower.

This is also the cheapest ready made washing soda I could find if you dont wanna get your hands dirty :P - amzn.to/42tXztj

I had been buying a product called "Shooter," made by Handi-Clean: $16 for a 30 oz bottle. Well, they closed their local warehouse, but I NEEDED to get the showers clean. Bought 3 lb bag of baking soda and 1 gal of bleach, all for just under $10. I made the mix, and literally painted the walls of the shower with it, making sure some of the mix layed into the grout seams. Maybe 3 min later, I scrubbed the entire wall with a stiff brush. The mildew came off rather easily. What washed off the walls laid on the floor of the shower and started eating away the offending stains there. I recommend that you wear a respirator, and swim goggles - bleach will make your eyes tear worse than onions. Also, operate a fan nearby to displace the bleach fumes. This was a GREAT hack, a real $$$$ saver.

I was incredibly surprised how well this worked with no scrubbing. I removed mold off of everything from grout to my wall which had some minor mold on it. This is after I had used a household scrubbing agent with a tooth brush and it didn’t touch it. Thank you so much for this as I feel like I have a bathroom that look’s livable😂

Get hydrochloric acid toilet bowl cleaner and carefully apply it to the glass - wear gloves and sponge it on slowly.

I see that the washing soda crystals did not dissolve in the bleach, so how does all this work?

They act as a poultice/scrub. Some do dissolve but the function is abrasion.

Problem is, this kind of cleaning won’t last long. Need a quick way to quickly dry shower grout down, but that’s a real challenge and time consuming. I did find a spray on protector they use on space vehicles, but problem is it doesn’t last a long time. Somebody needs to make a mold resistant solution for installing them. I try to wipe down shower after every shower, but haven’t yet found a way to do it that gets into the grout, so have to use a sponge or something to get into the grout lines; still haven’t found a perfect quick way to dry down shower

@jasperordrup 9 ай бұрын

You can use a large microfiber cloth/small microfiber towel. Buy one in good quality. Microfiber, dry up your shower completely AND clean at the same time. Please remember to rinse your shower with water before you turn off the water while you are finished showering. When you are dry, then do the above.

I’m so confused. You went after the small bits in the grout but not the large nasty patches of mold??

The large patches need waaaay more intervention and the limestone then needs to be filled in where it has impaired - also the title of the video is about grout, not patches in the tile.

I have read that bleach only dyes mold, and that a combination of bleach and baking soda cancel each other out (acid + base)

@CleaningHowTo Жыл бұрын

Which is the acid?

@BellyUpFish Жыл бұрын

Whatever you read was wrong. Bleach and baking soda are both bases. That said, vinegar would be much better for actually killing the mold.

@bairnonessie Жыл бұрын

Bleach doesn't kill the mold, no. That's why it 'comes back' so fast, because you haven't removed the old, just hidden it. That being said, this method might be somewhat effective, with the bleach just hiding the last of the old and the washing soda doing the hard work.

@sarahbelau24 6 ай бұрын

Mold is a fungus. Fungus actually prefer a slightly acidic environment, so it actually makes sense that this would kill the mold. The reason it comes back is because in a bathroom the moist environment allows spores in the air to attach and grow
