Hi,


I have a lot of blackmouldon the silicone sealant around the top of
my bath. The sealant was done right and it is all pitted and so there
are a lot of blackmouldpatches. Does anyone know how to clean this
up? I've tried bleach and scrubbing too hard just damages the sealant
more.


Hope someone can help.
The product formerly known as Dettox now called Dettol Mildew Remover
Spray.


You need to increase the ventilation in your bathroom, or it will simply
come back.

As above use the 'Dettol Mildew Remover Spray'.......wouldn't be without out
it
Gets rid of that black stuff from Bath mats/shower curtains/window sills/
ect
Any tesco style store stocks it where the kitchen cleaners are


Agree about Dettol spray. I am in a hard water area and had a really
serious problem with blackmould. I solved it with the Dettol and a good
strength scale remover spray. To start with I did it with the two on
alternate days. Now that the sealant and grouting is clean and white I
do each alternate weeks. I leave both on much longer than it says on the
bottles. I go away and forget about it then realise I need to spray it
when I go near and notice the smell. If you getmouldon the shower
curtain as well, soaking in fairly strong bleach for a few hours
followed by washing machine wash cleans them up.

First thnks to all your replies...

I did go out and buy this dettox but I just assumed it would get rid
of it straight away but it really didn't work at all so I have left
it...I guess I should keep applying it each day and see what
happens...

Thanks again....
