Apologies if there’s already a thread on this but search hasn’t turned anything up. Despite making sure both bathroom and shower are well ventilated I’m starting to get a problem with mould building up on the grouting. In the past I’ve never found the mould removal sprays to be very effective. Can anyone recommend a product or method that really works please?

Neat bleach on a toothbrush, scrub and rinse off. Not perfect, but it's the best I've found.

This is what I did in our shower room. It didn't work on the silicone sealant. Dh had to remove that with a Stanley knife and put new sealant in. It took him days to get the old stuff out.

I always make a point of wearing glasses if I’m using bleach and toothbrushes to clean things ( I use old toothbrushes a lot) ever since I flicked some in my eye once!

I stopped using fabric softener some years ago and use white vinegar instead. The clothes come out beautifully soft and I haven't found that it has any effects on the washing machine. I expect drying all my laundry outdoors helps with the softness and freshness too.

Mould Magic has done the trick, my shower is gleaming. Thank you everyone, one more problem ticked off the list.

Lemon juice and household white vinegar in the proportion 25% to 75%. Black mould hates it and it is inexpensive.
Good luck.
