Best cleaning products for Black mould .

I agree with the recommendations for HG. I think what is important though is to leave it on for the whole day-the longer you leave it the more effective it will be.

Also make sure your room is well ventilated before, during and after. Fir a whole wall I would wear a mask as I'm allergic to the mould spores.

In addition mould doesn't grow in well ventilated areas- so keep all internal doors open, even a little bit and open windows at least once a day. This helps the moisture escape and not settle in one place. Also, don't put anything against the wall- always make sure there is room for air to circulate so leave a gap, again, even a small one will help.

Very weak bleach solution should also work as preventative.

Willow500 Thanks for recommending CILLIT BANG for black mould. I love my shower again, without having to get down on my knees and scrub!

Ok. I would never want to butt in. What is was thinking was about the mould and is there a full and final cure.
I am sorry about the rambling on. I am a bit up to high Doh.
I will try to change that.
Sorry Ladies

Sorry westerlywind but this is a thread about mould removal- I am afraid that you cannot butt in with a different subject, you will have to start a new thread.

Def make sure that you have sufficient ventilation when working with any chemicals......DH ended up in A & E with anaphylactic shock after mixing weedkiller in the garage. He was starting to look like Mick Jagger by the time I got him there.

I don't know whether you mean Envirovent but they are brilliant at getting rid of moisture. Would thoroughly recommend them

For flats we have a device which prevents mould. It pumps air into the flat and when a door or window is opened the air rushes out and takes mould spores with it. We are not aware of the process. You can get the units at builders wholesalers but they need fitting. We have recouped the price by not having to redecorate annually.

I agree with wobbly bits HG Mould spray, I got it from B and Q

I agree with Wobblybits, HG mould spray works well. I got it from B and q

Dettol Mould and Mildew Remover works well on my bath sealant.

Apology Sorry about the previous post on this thread the usual price is £5ish not £14 that was for 3packs.
Its still a lot cheaper than HG though.

I remember reading something about mould and mildew remover vs bleach. I mistakenly thought bleach did the same job, but it doesn't. I have a tiled wall in the kitchen which is very susceptible to mould. When I used to use strong bleach on it, the mould only stayed away for a couple of weeks, but when I used proper mould and mildew remover, it stayed away for more than 3 months. I use Astonish Mould and Mildew Remover - costs less than £1.50 for 750ml in many discount stores (and it's cruelty free to boot!). HTH.

If you look at the ingreidents of this expensive HG stuff you will see it contains exactly the same active cleaning substance as common or garden bleach

HG
Type Mould remover
Size 500ml
Ingredients Sodium Hypochlorite less than 5%
the HG spray has 500ml for over £14.

Household bleach is, in general, a solution containing 3–8% sodium hypochlorite and 0.01–0.05% sodium hydroxide; the sodium hydroxide is used to slow the decomposition of sodium hypochlorite into sodium chloride and sodium chlorate.[3]

Domestos is slightly stronger but the Asda basic bleach very cheap has the same concentration as your apallingly expensive HG. So you get a lot more cleaning power with basic bleach for a heck of a lot less money.
Stop wasting money. A number of their other fancily packed products have the simple basic ingreidients.

For mould on bath sealant make a paste from bicarbonate of soda and bleach and use an old toothbrush to dab it all over the mould. Leave for a couple of hours and wash off. Cheap and really works.

Job done ! I used biolgical washing powder in solution first then a 1:3 solution of Domestos and water . It worked well and just cost pennies , really pleased and thanks for all the tips ! I hope it doesn't come back !

I get mould in the corner of my bedroom wall from top to bottom caused by condensation. The wall is emulsioned not papered. Wearing Marigolds (of course)just wipe it over with neat bleach - leaving windows and bedroom door open (of course). Come back later in the day, and it's all disappeared.

HG Mould remover is a miracle worker. Available at B&Q and other outlets.

Yes HG stuff is great!

I agree with Wobblybits (love that name!).
HG is the only one I have tried that really works.

Good point --- whatever you use in an enclosed space, open all the windows, and get out if the fumes get to you, these are nasty chemicals.

Yes, as posted above, it's HG... need more coffee!

I have mixed other rather dangerous stuff if it's in the bathroom. Wear a mask if applying bleach, then Cillit Bang...I even use the strongest Harpic X Power to get rid of it all.

Mind, that it will clean the grout, but if it's black behind the silicone seal at bottom, you have to remove it, dry out the gap, spray some bleak in there, too...then put in new silicone. I use painter's blue tape to mask the wall and tray/tub surface so I can get a nice even silicone job done which eliminates gaps for water to work its way behind and create those black spots.
