Wilko Mould Remover

I've been trying to find a good method to tackle Mould in bathrooms for a while, so I was keen to try this product when I spotted it in Wilkinsons.

I have to say, I was extremely impressed. It tackles Mould on a variety of surfaces with ease - you just spray and leave on, then rinse off. You repeat if needed. It deals with mould on silicone very effectively, leaving it nice and clean. It also tackles mould on grout (something that is otherwise very difficult to get rid of). This takes more applications, but eventually works.

Best of all, it only costs 85p for 750ml.

It also seems to have an effect on limescale, too.

N.B. There is a long list of surfaces not to use it on on the back of the bottle.

    It probably is a bleach of some sort - probably akin to Milton fluid. The price isn't bad and I guess the concentration is going to be what you need for the job rather than a guess if you DIY.

    Did not work for me or my Sister.We have been paying £5.99 for HG Mould remover and it works in minutes.
    Off to Wilkinsons to try much cheaper option!

    Tea Tree oil in warm water. Used on the bathroom ceiling and the mould never returned

    I found the Astonish Mould & Mildew remover so much better. Spray on and leave, within 2mins, any mould has completely disappeared!

    Tried the Wilko on this recommendation - agree, it has worked (mould from condensation in the corners of upvc double glazing). Thanks.
    Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it.

    I use neat bleach on mould in the bathroom and a value red toothbrush kept for the job of scrubbing.

    Shops own bleach.

    I put it down to toilet too!
    The secret to success is making very small, yet constant changes.:)

    ...............scrubbing! I squirted it on, left it 5 mins & simply wiped up the liquid with a soft cloth afterwards, no mould left.

    I have used the bleach/toothbrush thing before though - flicked it over my clothes so nice and spotty (& ruined)! Starkers might be the answer but not a pretty sight. Lol

    Black mould is a living breeding fungus and any attempts to kill it with toxins result in it immediately throwing out spores into the air as self protection. So you may get rid of what you can see but it'll be back with a vengeance shortly. Commonly available PVA glue is not toxic so the best bet is to cover it by painting over it several times with PVA adhesive then reprinting it with your normal emulsion, however, if after this you have not sorted out the initial damp or condensation that caused the problem it's still going to return
