But the original point was that supposedly bleach doesn't kill mold -- it does,
spores, too.

And that one should use a "natural" cleaner instead. One consisted of borax,
baking soda and vinegar: The mix of baking soda and vinegar will foam
impressively, and not do much else. And borax: good fungicide for the long term,
but water-soluble and washed off tiles and grout too easily.

So, unsuitable, hard to get, expensive, when compared to bleach.

bleach is far cheaper, and the logical option for tiles. Diluting it & rinsing it off are counterproductive of course.

I don't know why borax is now classed as reprotoxic

some of us do. In short it's baloney.
