Black mould in shower grouting

portchieboy

Does anyone have a way of keeping mould off of the grouting in the shower?

I regularly go over the whole inside of the shower with a mould killing spray, and bleach, but it soon re-appears. We have a fan in the bathroom, but only a small window so cannot get any more airflow. Is there maybe a way to clean the grout, then seal it to keep the water completely off?

Takes me hours....help!!!!

Dry it off after you shower.

I have the HG mould remover.

It isn't that good on really tough mould - the stuff that takes ages to remove with scrubbing. You still have to scrub away.

It's expensive for a poor result and I would not buy again.

Yes!

We use this and it gets rid of the mould with almost no effort.

The mould develops because of the excess moisture. Tackle the excess moisture in the first place, and you won't have to deal with the mould later on.

Keep an old towel to dry off the shower walls when you're done, or get the tiles ripped out and replace them with Showerwall or similar product that doesn't have any grout.

Remember that this is not always financially or otherwise possible.

When applying new sealant DON'T use washing up liquid on your finger to smooth it. Use cooking oil, sunflower, olive whatever you have, instead.

Apparently, it's something in the liquid that reacts and breeds mould.

Has worked so far on mine.
