How to remove mould from bathroom sealant ? (merged threads)

Kirri

The best thing I found was the mould remover from Lakeland but there were still faint marks left - in the end I gave in and replaced the sealant myself - which was a huge faff for me but despite my lack of DIY skills it still looks better!

I now dry round the bath after every shower as I don't want to do that job again in a hurry!!!

You can pick up the sealant from Poundland. If you want it spotless, that's probably going to be the only way to do it.

Thanks guys, will have a look for some sealant to re-do it. I don't want to be spending a fortune so if I can find some in the pound shop that would be brilliant!

Before you redo it (as it's a job I HATE-especially as we moved into a house with a leaking bath, and we didn't realise how bad it was until we redid the bathroom) try a thick paste made up of bicarbonate of soda and bleach, and smear it on thick. I just did this, left it on for about 5 hours and it got nearly all the specks out, so next time will do for longer. I was really surprised by how well it worked-now just got to find cheap bicarb to do it regularly....

found 3kg for £14 on ebay if that helps?

Might have a look in the local chinese supermarket, see if can get some there, save on the postage I used a tub that was OOD in feb 09

dribble bleach over it and leave it. I thought hubs had replaced the sealant when he did this. It gets rid of it all.

Dettox Mold & Mildew spray.

Seems to work far better than bleach on its own.

Open a window first though!!!

I find the cheap 'magic' sponges are good at this! they are quite gentle and if you dont rub too hard you dont remove the sealant!
