Bleach diluted 50/50 with water in spray bottle does the job for about 50p.

I totally agree, I bought this plus a few other brands of mould removers to help a friend remove some black mould, I bought them from home bargains and they were all priced around £1 to £2, really expected them to be ineffective that's why I bought so many different bottles, but to my surprise all worked really well and better than diluted bleached from a garden sprayer which I tried previously which sort of worked but tend to smear and move the problem around rather than removing it. It worked really well and made a dreaded job pretty easy and fast.
My advice: buy some cheap mould cleaner from pound shop/ home bargains, spray it on affected areas leave it to work as per instructions and use 2 buckets and seperate sponges/ cloths. Clean with one bucket of hot soapy water and use the other clean water to rinse, try not to contaminate the clean water and change water often. Dry. Use in a well vented area, smell can be pretty strong in confined spaces.

agree, works just as well at a fraction of the price. can only vote cold because of this
This is good, but is basically bleach (which also works).

Exactly!
Simply soak some lint free material in bleach and "stick" to the problem patch - remove before it dries out. "Plenty" works well as it does not disintegrate when wet

I tend to find that bleach diluted 50/50 with water in a spray bottle works well on grout and sealant. Just keep natural coloured fabrics away.

It doesn't.
Actual mould killing chemicals work better, like in the Astonish links above.

Has anyone tried this on walls (plaster) and does this it give good results or is just for tiles, grout etc?

Haven't used this brand but used some cheap mould remover from home bargains/pound shop ( see above post), worked really well and ok on plastered painted walls.
My advice is to try it on a small area which is not noticeable before trying it on the main problem, one thing I noticed was a change in colour, I feared it may have stained the walls but after cleaning and left to dry naturally there was no signs of staining.

If you have mouldy then you should resolve the issue not spray chemicals into your home environment.
The mould spores can be deadly, so be careful.

Also used this successfully on tiles, grout, silicon and plasterboard (whole shower basically) - however I've now replaced our bathroom extractor fan with an inline fan and I've cured the mould problem in the shower for good. Our vent from the bathroom is vertical through the roof and the normal fans weren't powerful enough to clear the damp air as it condensed - also insulating the vent hose helped too.

Where did you locate the pump? Looking to do the same as you.

I agree that you need to establish where the damp is coming from. Condensation needs ventilation . A wet plaster wall could hide a leak or penetration or , failed dpc . In older properties lime plaster allows walls to breath, while cement or modern gypsum plaster traps moisture.
If you are going to spray any of these products, for heaven sake open the window and wear a mask and googles . Invisible droplets could be breathed in or get in your eyes .

I did on walls that were to be painted again and it's worked a treat, they were really bad in a house I rent out.
I've also accidentally got it on my painted walls in the bathroom and it will stain your paint work, it's proper strong.

Bluebella
15 Mar 16#34
I have a problem with stubborn mould (in shower sealant) which normal bleach/bleach sprays can't seem to shift. I had a quick google of this product and apparently it contains a corrosive alkaline chemical along with the bleach so it may be worth a try if bleach isn't getting all the mould.
Its also available at b&q for £5

This stuff is great, we had quite a lot of mould not long after we moved in here and sometimes get the odd spot pop up again and HG always takes care of it. Used it on paint and everything and never had a problem.

My experience: sprays like this work well, but watch silicon sealant. It was wrecked by the spray when I used it around windows etc. It just peeled off.
Also, as others have said; fix the cause of the damp, this just gets rid of the symptom (temporarily)

lol, £5 for bleach in water... Young people these days :smiley:

Better than just bleach in water is a solution of bleach and white vinegar - if you're using thin bleach then 50/50 by volume mixed in water but DON'T add the bleach and vinegar to each other, either one into the water first. A teaspoon of each to a litre of water is enough. I killed and cleaned something creeping about a foot down a bathroom wall a couple of years ago with this and it's still not back.
This mix can also make a no-rinse sanitiser for all you homebrewers - here's a link.

Great for mould removal, but in terms of packaging, the new bottles are really bad, have had three bottles leak and got the stuff all over the place. Sometimes the spray doesn't work either. When buying Look out for the bottle in the picture, that's the one you want. The new one comes with the spray part detached and stuck to the side

this is great for those who think 'you get what you pay for'. But in reality you are paying for a very expensive product and getting bleach worth about 1/10th of the cost. Just like headache tablets - read what the active chemical is, and buy the unbranded generic product. Buy bleach, aspirin, ibuprofen etc and not the named brands which are exactly the same.

I swear by this stuff. Tried cheaper ones and also bleach, was resigned to regrouting the bathroom, then gave this a go and it came up great. It's the same price at B&Q but handy if you're ordering from Amazon anyway.

If you use bleach on tiles you damage the seal between the tile and the grout/bath seal. I use this stuff and I assume it isn't just bleach... The same way others are assuming it is just bleach.
grahamc2003 to blinderonichan

Well it's easy to google the formula for just about anything. This stuff appears to be 3% Sodium hypochlorite (about the same concentration as bog standard household bleach) and 1% Sodium hydroxide (aka caustic soda, or drain cleaner, a quid for half a kilo in the pound shop). Just add half a teaspoon of caustic soda crystals to a bottle of bleach and spray that on the mould. Careful with caustic soda, it dissolves skin and fat etc and imo will soon be banned.
I just use bleach on black mould on grout and works well enough for me, killing the mould and bleaching the black colour.

Do it regularly. It does. Either that or the little bleach fairies come round and wipe it all away when I'm not looking.

Try it few days back and results were amazing
Its an incredible product and it REALLY WORKS!
amazon customer reviews are excellent.
