in Old style MoneySaving
After reading on here about using a paste of bleach & bicarb to get rid of mould in sealant, so have just done that in my bathroom.

How long should I leave it on for? Am off to the gym now for (hopefully for a good session-so out for at least 90 minutes maybe more... )

Is there a max time I can leave it on for?

    Ive left it on for that length of time before and it's fine...the longer you leave it the better it works

    I've never heard of it before... But I've discovered a bit on my bath where it is needed, so I will try it too, thanks!

    It WORKS!!
    I left it on until 2.30/3ish so a long time, but it has got rid of the black specks that were within the grout (couldn't scrub it off) there are some tiny little specks still, so I reckon next time I'll just leave it from 1st thing until bed time, but the bath no longer looks grotty! :j :j :beer: :A
