    I've used a small amount of bleach on a cotton bud in the past.

  • I've used a paste of lemon juice, vinegar and salt on the mastic seal around the bottom of the bathroom window frames and around the bath and it worked after being left to sit for a few minutes and then scrubbed.

    I have in the past used window cleaner in the spray bottle on mould - don;t know what's in it but it really works!

  • the white edging around my bedroom window has a lot of black mould (i presume it's mould) along the bottom.

    i'm guessing it's going to be white vinegar, stardrops or soda that will get this off but currently i only have the vinegar. would i need to dilute it or use it neat? or something else completely different?

    thanks :)
