Removing mould in walk in shower

There are indeed different types of mould. There’s a pinkish one, or rather a harmless bacteria found in water and dirt (just googled it) - it becomes airborne so gets blown indoors

Bleach seems to be the favoured way to rid it but bleach does eventually damage silicone😣

Find hg mould mousse is good.
Also use a window vac to get water off the shower door and tiles.
Would get extractor fan if could afford the expense.

Mould magic is just that

Dehumidifier in the bathroom for a few hours after each bath

Cillit Bang black mould remover. I've found it very fast and effective. Remember Barry Scott? BANG! And the dirt is gone!

This really does work in24 hours .Roll up tissue ( toilet paper is perfect) into small straw sized strips ., soak in bleach and place over the grout, pressing it onto the grout or silicone sealer .( it’s tricky on vertical grout but will stay put if you persevere ( easy on horizontal) .Wear rubber gloves when placing and removing the tissue…..100% successful.I saw this on a YouTube video.

Another vote for the Mould Magic here, a friend used it over 18 months ago in her son's rented flat....grout and seals, it worked really well.

We have this problem too but being disabled and getting less able it’s not easy to keep it under control. Every so often I give it a good spray, sit on my shower seat and have a scrub with a kitchen washing up brush- longer handle and not so small to hold onto! Given up on the silicone seal in the corner of the floor as cannot shift it at all now.

Another one for Astonish Mould & Mildew Blaster. To stop it from running I put strips of kitchen roll over it & leave for a few hours.

Kilrock - works well.

We've bleach and vinegar in trigger bottles. My husband applies vinegar daily, bleach weekly, after shower. Washes off at next shower.

Bleach works well.

I would recommend Cillit Bang Black Mould remover. It’s very powerful and will shift black mould. I used not to spray if off after 20 minutes but I started to notice it had “dissolved” / “eaten” some of the grouting so I’m more careful now as it’s very powerful stuff.

I use household vinegar and neat lemon juice in the respective proportions 75% to 25%. Black mould ( if that's the type that you have in the shower ) HATES it.

CIF mould remover is excellent and very easy to use.

I, like others, just use neat bleach on a toothbrush. It is a sight cheaper than other mould cleaners - and the ingredients are much the same.

I have a karcher window cleaner and I use this to remove the water every day, its an effort but no mould after 1 year shower (which has no window) still looks great.

I find neat thick bleach and a toothbrush the most effective on grouting a little laborious.
Once it is clean you can get a sealant spray which I used and its really good. The grout no longer holds the damp hence no mould. I bought mine on Amazon. Best thing ever.

*if a little laborious

This is the one I used 2 year ago and it is still affective

We always scrape the water off the tiles, glass and floor after our shower, which means it all goes down the drain. Worth a try. scrapers for showers can be found in most supermarkets for a few pounds.

Do take care using spray on the ceiling, the mist it leaves behind in the air, (that you can't see,) can get into your eyes and airways and its not pleasant.
I've found most of the ones on the market work well, but then so does diluted bleach in an old spray bottle.
A plumber told me modern houses are too well insulated - not enough fresh air around. I don't know if I believe him ......

I always use Astonish Mould Mildew Blaster. for the grout between the tiles.
I've found it brilliant although on stubborn bits you may have to do it twice.
Another tip is to put a moisture trap with crystals in the bathroom. It helps to soak up the moisture.

Yes I’d agree with this. I bought some of those with the crystals and I’m amazed at how much water they collect. We do open the bathroom windows but still they fill with water.

Wondering which moisture trap you use and where from, never heard of them before and do have a problem with bathroom mould?

Definitely Mould magic from musthaveideas ( I have also used this successfully on my washing machine seal,) or HG mould spray- works every time.( Our shower has been in for 10 years but the sealant still looks like new)

Maybe household didn't bathe or shower so often when you were young. Bath once a week was the norm when I was .

To the contributor who said how noisy extractor fans are.
When I had my en-suite re=done last year, the horrifically noisy extractor fan was removed and a new 'whisper' one was installed at a cost of £70. This is brilliant and I actually need to check the little light by its switch to know that it is on.
