This thing is magical but BEWARE the fumes it releases is virtually toxic. Took down the entire family.

If you make up an acidified bleach solution by adding bleach to water, then white vinegar to that (don't add the vinegar directly to the bleach, seriously) it kills everything including microbial spores and anthrax. If you use thin bleach that's 5% then equal volumes of bleach and vinegar work, if you're using stuff like the really cheap Morrison's bleach then you want more.

For standard bleach 1.3ml and 1.3ml of vinegar for a litre, for the cheap Morrison's 8ml of bleach and 1.3ml of vinegar. For a gallon use 6ml of each for standard, for the cheap 36ml of bleach and 6ml of vinegar. It's no rinse at this level and can be used to sanitise bottles with 30 second contact time. Google "Charlie Talley Bleach Vinegar" or something and you'll find all the info you need including a great podcast. Acidifying the bleach makes its killing power increase anywhere from 80 to 200 times.

Hence saying don't add the vinegar directly to the bleach. Do the googling and you'll find that Charlie Talley, the inventor of StarSan, gave those concentrations for an 80 parts per million solution that's no-rinse. Up the concentration if you want to make it no-rinse but more powerful. You'll also find links to a google scholar document about bleach having a ph level of 12 for stability and acidifying it makes it far, far more effective.

More here. I think they're facts.

Podcast is here. Go 12 minutes in for general info - Talley is really accessible - he talks about bleach not killing mould on its own, just bleaching it making it look like it's gone. Go to about 18 minutes in to get to the info about acidifying with vinegar.

The only thing he doesn't mention is how long a mixture of the no-rinse solution lasts - at the dilution and lowered ph level it's not much more than a day - but what does that matter - it's costing less than a penny for a gallon. So if you're doing stuff like sanitising bottles either by submerging them in a bucket or using a spray bottle then don't rinse them with tap water after as it might actually recontaminate them, just turn your bottles over and let it drip out - there's no need to let them dry.

This stuff is great. I think its essentially a bleaching spray (or at least it smells that way) but it works incredibly well.

This thing is magical but BEWARE the fumes it releases is virtually toxic. Took down the entire family.

As per above comments - really effective stuff, but make sure there is plenty of ventilation, before you start spraying it around.

thanks, bought it from ebay as you need to spend an extra £20 on amazon (£5 odd on ebay)

I buy similar stuff from lidl for 2 quid and poundland for one quid. Never seen any difference except the brand name being Lidl or dettol from pound shops. Lidl has different versions, some safe for painted surfaces as well as they have sealant in them to stop mould getting foothold on the surface in first place.

This stuff is awesome for getting rid odd mould. I was even able to use it on the carpet on a particularly horrible bit.

Just agreeing with all the above comments. This product is brilliant - it does exactly what it says on the, erm, spray bottle. :smile:

Dettol Mould & Mildew Remover is Magic. Mould will just dissappear and £3.29 in Homebase. Read the reviews about it. simply great
