Will be moving back to my house after it being tenanted by a friend for a year and it will be thorough cleaning time for me.
The grouting and sealant in the bathroom is very mouldy and I've been told HG mound spray from Bobby Dyas is very good.
Got some Cillit Bang as well , and sugar soap for the walls.
What items work for you for a good old clean up?

We use it and it is very good, probably the best on the market, but it has its limits.
Give it a go but, if the mould on the sealant is really bad, removal and renewal of the sealant will be required.
If you post a picture I will take a guess at your prospects of cleaning it.
The grouting may clean up with HG and a good stiff grout brush (Lakeland do a good one for under a fiver) and lots of elbow grease. If the grouting still looks mouldy, then try a grouting pen. They recolour the grubby grout. They are widely available, normally come in white but a few other colours are available.0 -
Mr Muscle and Flash cleaners. Microfibre clothes. Bamboo skewers - these are my secret weapon for getting into corners to get grease out.The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.0

I find thick bleach good for whitening up silicone and removing black mould, although sometimes it needs a repeat application.
Oven pride is very good, but very strong, need good long gloves.0 -
Another vote here for bleach to remove black marks on silicone - I bought some of the rolls of cotton wool and squidged them into the base of the shower tray, i then covered them in bleach and let them soak for about 20 minutes and they came up as good as new!!
My grouting between the tiles in the shower had "yellowed" a bit so I water down some bleach in a spray bottle and sprayed it over the grouting and left for half an hour and rinsed off. Lovely and sparkly and as good as new!!
I use Stardrops all of the time and the old fashioned Vim powder for stubborn jobs and my Le Crueset pan set and kettle.
Don't forget your rubber gloves and wear old clothes!0 -
I have the Method Wood cleaner its fabulous and Bar Keeps Friend powder a must for burn on foods0
