HOW TO CLEAN BLACK MOLD OFF BATHROOM SEALANT - EASY CLEANING HACK

[@agamer219]

You are part right. Bleach will kill mold that is on the surface and whiten surfaces that are porous, but bleach can not penetrate porous surfaces. So if there is mold behind the item, say grout between the shower tiles, then the bleach is not reaching that mold and so it resurfaces after awhile. White vinegar or 3% peroxide will kill mold on non-porous surfaces and penetrate porous surfaces to kill the mold. So after you do the cleaning, you should follow it up by spraying it down with some white vinegar or 3% peroxide (let it dry) to kill the mold. There is a lot more information and videos on here from professional mold removers now. I have used both the white vinegar and the 3% peroxide and it has made a huge improvement. I live in a really humid place that can sometimes be a bit of a challenge even with using dehumidifiers. - One other thing, I sometimes get the foaming spray w/bleach or the toilet bowl gel with the spout for application. They work great too so you don't have to be up close to the mold if you have bad allergies. Great video, thanks :)

[@toddh6234]

It will still come back if the conditions that caused the mold isn't corrected. The only thing that can be done is to stay on top cleaning the area to keep it under control.

[@cleanwithcharm]

Yes Bleach does not actually remove mould

[@itnuts3496]

Just Use a hot air gun @500 Degrees or higher. Should be fine on concrete walls & flooring Bleach works but if indoors, it's dangerous to inhale.

Do you mix the vinegar with water? Ty

[@terrycovell3598]

This works perfectly, I was expecting it to maybe take a few attempts but first try and completely eradicated every bit of mold, thank you for this video, it has saved me resealing the entire tub.

[@lauraann4014]

Thanks for sharing , I tried this yesterday, and was amazed after 24 hours the black mould has gone. 👍

[@merrygwolf4629]

Why couldn't I find you years ago when I got my first apartment many, many moons ago? Love this and well done. Thank you.

[@mshanika]

This worked like a charm!!! I had some mould for several months that I could not get rid of. I had to do several applications and had to leave it longer

[@popdiva96]

I'm so sorry you've had people question you on this! Can honestly say this works so thank you!

[@ogahay6738]

It works but may not get rid of the mould fully. This is masking, if the mould is penetrating the plasterboard. This video is very useful but in the wrong situation, and it could be extremely harmful.

[@CLABEJARES]

When removing black mold, I would use not only gloves and protective glasses but a mask. Also, I would never put the brush back inside the container after touching the moldy area with it. I would simply get some product out on a separate bowl and leave the rest untouched. I agree with the comment by @agamer219 too.

[@bossfootbagstwo2078]

I’ve found that wiping the shower down and leaving the door/shower curtain open helps prevent mold from forming in the first place!

[@ronpost587]

Yes, the best remedy is prevention.

[@bossfootbagstwo2078]

[@regferraris]

It does work and also does not need to be 24hrs instead leave overnight and you will get the same result. For more persistent mould you will have to do more than once but it will get rid of it for sure.

[@danielscott9137]

Rmr86 1hr on, rinse. Haven't seen a single sign of mold in my x3 daily use shower. But this stuff is commercial grade and will smell like a pool for a week.

[@ronpost587]

Make sure when you use a brush on your caulk you chose a gentle brush and brush lightly. Otherwise you will abraid the surface of the caulk which will cause mold/mildew to form quicker and harder to clean next time. The best method I've found is to cut strips of paper toweling lengthwise about 3" wide and fold them into three layers. Soak them with bleach or Mold Armor and lay them on the caulk. If they tend to dry out saturate them with the solution again. 12-24 hours later your caulk will look brand new without any damage to the surface. There is a KZbin video showing how to do this but I don't remember the title.

[@juanfvielma3543]

Me too. This method works for me for a couple of weeks and then the mold comes back. I’ve done this about ten times. Any suggestions??? I even ripped out the old caulk and still comes back.

[@LeahMichelle96]

Do you have hard water? That seems to be our problem here in west Texas. Our bathroom in our rent house the person did not use shower caulk so it keeps looking

Is bleach safe to use on silicone on an acrylic bathroom?

[@msyt232]

Why do you dip the brush into the bottle of bleach? Better to pour some into a bowl or dish. Then the bleach can be used for other uses and uncontaminated.

[@GeorginaBisbyDIY]

I didn't have a suitable bowl at the time but good suggestion

[@penknight8532]

[@smpoir3114]

@@GeorginaBisbyDIY Great , will clean mine out now. But like Ms YT my fisrt thought was that you were contaminating the bleach. I clean tea cups with bleach every once in a while. then clean cup as usual. no residue , no danger for children. as long as it is glass or ceramic, these are safe.

Baking soda and vinegar, or 1 cup water to one cup borax, or hydrogen peroxide. Simple stuff, bleach does not kill just looks good. 👌

Don’t wear black trousers when working with bleach. The slightest splash will leave a white mark.

This doesn't work for mold growing inside the caulk and if this is the case you'll have to remove the caulk and apply new caulking.

Maybe a stronger exhaust fan and use a ozone machine .

Uhh, aren’t you supposed to have a face mask too? Black mold is prretty dang deadly.

[@jeffhook7669]

Clean the entire shower, dry it now take a blade and cut out all the mold, whether it be grout or silicone, grout base, silicone caulking. After it’s all cut out, use a mineral spirits to wipe it down and reapply. I do these jobs all day long. It doesn’t take 24 hours.

[@lauramolecavage]

seems like you blurred out the video a bit when you removed the paper so could not really see the results. have to say this is false

[@GeorginaBisbyDIY]

The camera has face recognition so it blurs sometimes when it isn't focusing on a face but it doesn't blur at all when I first lift the toilet roll so I'm not sure what you mean. It's a very inexpensive hack to try if you would prefer to see it work for yourself.

[@popdiva96]

I actually tried this yesterday and we had a lot of mold and I took it off a little early so I could shower but it works very well I only had a few spots left. So I'd have to say this is true

[@popdiva96]

@Gentle Touch Star I've litterally tried it and it does work....

[@trezgibson3791]

Laura, This is actual research that was done. with the same type of experiment on several surface types to include plastic, paper, and wood. Your comment identifying the camera blur may indeed lead one to believe her result is fabricated. However, you can view the same 3rd party research indicating bleach is highly effective against mold. Furthermore, the research states prevention identifies bleach as a combative component for mold prevention on the same surface types. MRS. Bisby's method of using the toilet paper over the mold source for a 24 hour period has less to do with the outcome of the reveal but more to do with constant application on the problem area, meaning if you wanted to spray your mold source with bleach daily I'm sure you could but a 24-hour constant application is what shes proving to be more effective! If you still do not believe I have enclosed the 3rd part source that you can read on your own time that has several mold/bleach experiments. Regards Wilson, S. C., Brasel, T. L., Carriker, C. G., Fortenberry, G. D., Fogle, M. R., Martin, J. M., ... & Straus, D. C. (2004). An investigation into techniques for cleaning mold-contaminated home contents. Journal of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene, 1(7), 442-447.

[@regferraris]

@Gentle Touch Star definitely no fake, the mould will go away within few hours and don't need to be 24hrs. I have been using this method for a long time and sure it works.

[@sicdoctor]

The mold will grow back. The silicone has been put in very bad. Mold will only grow in a bathroom when the installation is poor, in this case, the installation is poor and will reappear.
