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

This stuff works much better than any other product I've tried

Is there an easy way of getting a list of various add on item?

Astonish mold remover from Proper Job is as good as dettox and £1 a bottle :wink:
I thought it would be rubbish for a quid but its just as good, just as smelly also lol

could you have got a bigger picture :smiley:

I put a big picture coz your old and would struggle to see it :smile:

Previously tried Dettol Mould and Mildew Remover which I thought did a reasonable job but when the mould later re-appeared tried HG Mould Spray and it did a noticeably better job imo and no sign of the mould again.

Would certainly recommend this based on my experience. Haven't tried some of the other cheaper alternatives mentioned so unable to comment whether they'd do a similarly thorough job or not?

I'm not sure all the things it can be used on - but it's considerably cheaper , and I use it personally and it worked well. On the label it says can be used in kitchens , bathrooms and pvc Windows .

Domestos grot buster gel better than any of these watery products which run off and bleach things you don't want bleaching & get into your lungs

I always used this HG spray.

After reading comments on here suggesting that Astonish Mould and Mildew remover did the same job, I gave it a try.

It's £1 from B&M and does exactly the same job as the HG stuff.

Bigger bottle too...

how did you know :smiley:

on the other products, there are lots of them, we found this and one Lakeland used to do to be the best, suppose it depends on the mould and what you want it to come off. Ours is used on that amazing mould resistant silicone which should actually be called mould creation as its useless, not worth paying the extra for.

from breaking bad...

Had a quick search on the net and found this.

Looks like domestos have pulled it, shame great product this might be as good http://www.lakeland.co.uk/24253/Blitz-That-Mould-Brush-On-Gel

HG Stove glass cleaner is also a brilliant product.
Have used both and highly recommend them.

Thanks for the link, but that's just random low cost items rather than add-ons.

HG products are great, bought this and the grout cleaner both are fantastic

Had a search for you and it doesn't appear that there is any method of pulling up all of the add-ons on Amazon.

Might have to settle for sifting through some of the bargains that get posted on here:

This is amazing. I needed to buy some more. Thanks.

Thanks, very good of you to spare your time :smile:

Used this on my bathroom ceiling and a wall in a bedroom, got rid of all the mold and was so simple (just spray).

This stuff is just a powerful bleach. When using it make sure you wear something that you wouldn't be upset if you ruined it. Not only does it bleach clothes it will actually hole them. I accidentally over-sprayed our black towels. It will have the same effect on your lungs if the room isn't well ventilated. Also make sure your grout is sound or it will dissolve that as well. It's more like a military grade chemical weapon. Has anybody seen Breaking Bad? That's the kind of suit you need when using it...

Please can someone advise whether this chemical is actually dangerous or not?

Thanks a lot, OP!! I have a lot of mould in the silicone around the bath and nothing would take it off. Based on the reviews, this seems to be able solve it =)

This stuff is amazing, i found out about this stuff off the council guys they couldn't fault it and this is all our council use now, mind you i paid a lot more from B&Q about £5.75 i think. heat added

Thanks OP

​What safety precautions should I take whilst using this?

Wear gloves, open windows, keep kids and pets out the room for a couple of hours

You can get the safety datasheet online. It's listed as 1-5% sodium hypochlorite, 1-5% sodium hydroxide.

Agreed with the other post probably need a hazmat.

Easier to deal with the cause of the mould. I have used it and it is very good just without hazmat have to open windows, doors,etc, keep people away e.g. follow the insrtuctions.

This is fab stuff - way better than ANY OTHER similar product i have used.
Save caveat as above - don't get it near your clothes/skin - and make sure area is ventilated....

...their de-scaler/limescale remover is ace too.....

Poundland sell one for £1 I just brought one 2 days ago and it worked wonders!

£4.48 delivery with flubit for me (may have to trial flubit elite)
