How To Remove Mold Mould From Silicone Sealant In Bathroom Shower

Here is a straightforward method of removing mould that appears over time on silicone sealant used around the bath or shower cubicle.

[@malcolmpeill5064]

Thanks for the positive comments. It's good to know it's been useful to folk.

[@HoudalothAli]

It works. Your an older man with experience.

[@malcolmpeill5064]

E R.A. Thanks for letting me know, I hadn't realised that.

[@marymagee3124]

E R.A. Thank God you don't clean my house!

[@michaelparke3700]

Thank you so much for this video. If I hadn't seen this my bathroom would have slowly just got worse and worse. Now it looks great.

[@cherryrotella3714]

Malcolm Peill excellent. Going to do it in my bath

[@gran291]

I've listened to this several times, just for the pleasure of hearing to your lovely voice.

[@mjp5129]

Yes. Kinda like Pierce Brosnan. Nice

What is asmr?

[@TheDugo74]

All the times I ripped the sealer out . This worked perfectly , left it for 10 hrs it was done. best life hack yet

[@angelablunden1345]

Oh my goodness!!! I have gouged out the silicone sealant in my tub each time it gets lite this & re-sealed it to get it fresh & white again.. And, each time the mold seems to come back worse than before. I thought I was going to have to pay a professional to do it this time around & since my husband has passed away was not looking forward to the expense of it. After watching your demonstration I thought oh what the heck it's worth a try! I am so amazed & like the man said in another post I keep staring at the pure white silicone sealant! I'm shocked at how easy it was. Thank you, thank you!

[@ericl1255]

This sounds like a BBC special

Right? Like David Attenborough in Planet Earth/Blue Planet. Both very calm voices.

@@BedlamBomb Yes! I find a long Attenborough documentary on here every night and fall asleep to it. It's also nice the roll over in middle of the night and get a glimpse of something interesting, then fall back asleep lol.

Beatriz Garcia you can use the clinging bleaching gel for toilet bowl. It works wonders too.

[@leeyeo7206]

This worked unbelievably well . I used to just remove the silicone and put new sealant in when the mold would get difficult to remove. Probably every year. Youve saved me alot of work! This is probably one of the most useful things I've ever learned on KZbin. Thank you!

[@angelablunden1345]

Every two years or so I would have to take out the old & redo just like you said. It worked for me as well....Yay! Oh & your right, most useful YourTube demos yet! And, as easy as it looks!

Bloody hell. It only worked. Mine was nasty and thought there was no hope. Its like magic. The wonders of KZbin. Cheers mate!

[@iamenough6958]

Yes indeed

[@sunkat76]

So is ours. Was 12hours enough? I have just found this video and am trying the bleach loo paper right now.

[@shirwayshams]

I tried it immediately after watching this and it WORKED! Ah, that satisfying feeling of peeling the tissue off and finding the mould gone was everything! Thank you :)

[@theosantos3955]

This is INCREDIBLE!! I wasn’t sure but had a go and now the shower looks brand new. I have spent countless hours painstakingly ripping up sealant in the past. Never again. I have shared this with everyone I know!! Thank you thank you thank you!! 🙏😂

[@brite1978]

I did it last night and i feel like i need to tell the world about it, its amazing 😂

[@etiennevanier]

Thank you! It removed 95% of the mold after leaving it for 5 hours! Cheers from Canada, man!

[@johnp6096]

Fantastic tip! I couldn't believe how easy and effective this was. It saved me hours in having to re-apply new silicon around my sink. Thank you!

[@2fitzie]

All superlatives about this are justified. Worked 100%.

[@Peter-yw6fo]

Brilliant! Thank you Malcolm! Like you I have tried everything including replacing the sealant constantly as all these guarantees about guaranteed mould free sealant are nonsense. You have saved me hours of work.

[@jevigolf]

Absolutely brilliant. I've tried everything over the years and was about to rip out all the sealant and start again. When I removed the tissue after 12 hours, it was like magic had happened. I could not believe it, I just kept staring at this pristine white sealant!

[@swizzleproxi4810]

Thankyou for this great tip to once and for all get rid of that horrible mould 👍😚 best tip so far

The mold on my silicone sealant doesn't look very pleasant to look at, so I have been looking for a way on how to get rid of it somehow. I'll be trying this method out in hopes that it would work! I will let you all know the following day if this method is still effective to this day :) Edit: Update! It's been atleast 12 hours, I removed the tissues and it worked! I'm so surprised that this actually worked haha, it looks too good to be true but its true, works like magic, it definitely looks like a mold never even happened, thank you so much! You are a life saver!

[@grantcampbell1944]

Just brilliant! Been fighting mould for 50 years, resiliconing, scrubbing, 'special' mould removers, the lot. Tried this yesterday, removed the toilet paper and voila! All mould gone. Great tip, many thanks!

Malcolm, thankyou so very much for an incredibly simple and effective solution! You are a practical genius! My wife thanks you too!

[@barnieslad]

This is a great tip - thank you! My mould was many times worse than you seemed to have had Malcolm and I was on the verge of once again replacing the sealant around my bath - then I stumbled across this video. I gave it a go as a last resort and the result was literally miraculous! If anyone is reading this, use a gel or thick type of bleach and remember to use rubber gloves whilst doing the procedure. I also used more toilet roll to dab away excess bleach after I'd finished, then left it to work overnight. The day previous to my trying this procedure I had scrubbed away at the mould with bleach on a toothbrush and got nowhere. Then I tried this way and et voila - clean sealant! Cracking tip this Malcolm, well done :)

This tip is so helpful! I tried it today at my dad’s house and it worked a treat. I left the bleach on for about 6 hours and the sealant came up brilliant white still. Thanks for the video 😊

great tip and I could listen to you for hours, so relaxing.

OMG it really works. Just used this technique on my two showers and look like new. Thank you . Have spent years trying new expensive sprays and even taking out and putting in new sealant

[@DizzyAlyx]

Thanks for sharing this tip! Cleaned the bathroom the other day and no amount of scrubbing or cleaners worked on the sealant, was ready to give up when I found this video, and it totally worked! Very satisfying :)

[@alftupper9359]

You're a genius mate and you deserve all those views and likes. All these years I've been gouging and slicing this stuff out and replacing!

[@nsheeran46]

This is amazing!! Thank you so much, we live in a rented flat and our bathroom doesn't have a window so we get a mould problem, I try and stay ontop of it but I couldn't figure out how to solve this one, but I tried this last night and it worked!! Feels amazing to not look at that around the bath now. Thank you so much for sharing your tips!

[@sallyroche1147]

This is the most amazing revelation! Saves a fortune in having to get a plumber to re-seal our mouldy shower sealant. Thank you very much

[@valleygirl5832]

i am wishing I saw this after spending all weekend attempting to remove the mouldy silicone!

[@oscarlizarazo5984]

I saw the comments and wasn't too sure but gavee it a go anyway, after all is a simple procedure. I was so impressed 12 hours after to see that the horrible mould went away!! best, cheap and simple procedure ever!!! thank you so much for the tip

[@bigtastey7707]

Been trying to figure out just how the heck I was gonna get rid of mine and stumbled upon this video. Thank you good sir.

[@lizc7263]

This really works!!. I was prepared to remove sealant and replace. Would've taken me hours. This was 10 mins then leave for hours..I did 18. Magic reveal. Was sceptical, but looks like new. Thank you!! Now got other areas to attack.

[@sabasulman4929]

How long did u leave for

[@jenniferjewell8546]

Never thought this would work!!!! It's an absolute miracle. Saved me from gutting out the whole of the bathtub. Cannot believe something so simple works like a miracle. Thank you!!!

[@omugz9444]

I have been a plumber heating installer for 16 years... and WOW, I was trying to find time to redo the silicone sealant on my shower tray at home (I have been puttint this off 4 some time), but you have saved me so much of my hard sweat and graft, as I was going to strip back and re apply fresh silicone. Me and my wife tried this last night at 10pm and checked the results the following day 12pm... this does 99.9% work. Some of the really dark black patched turned light grey, so have reapplied again 2nite. Absolutely best video on KZbin and best results within the Home. Superb and just Awesome. Hughe Thank You

[@emilymay4536]

This works so well I can’t believe the difference, thank you for the tip!!

[@pamdemic]

This worked great!! I have been spraying and scrubbing this for months and could not get it clean. per this video I used toilet paper and toilet bowl cleaner with clorox bleach, it's thick instead of just thin like bleach would be. The next day the black mold was all gone.... finally!! I am so pleased thanks!

[@cikarang5]

Thanks so much for this, have used this in several places and has worked perfectly every time. Ive even shown it to a couple of friends who also think its brilliant. You are a lifesaver. Thank You

[@jasonm6496]

This is amazing. I live in USA, and it is hard to buy the brand he used. It has to be the gel, not the regular Clorax liquid bleach. I tried 2 times with regular common liquid bleach, but it failed. So, I bought bleach in gel form from the local Walmart, and it cost about $1.5. Thank you very much.

[@geetaa4613]

Jason, what brand and product did you buy from Walmart?

[@OneTalaw]

FANTASTIC!!!!! This works! This little trick saves me having to dig out the Silicone/caulk from shower/tub just to remove the mold. 👍👍

[@nicolaesselbach1142]

This was unbelieveable. Crazy easy and crazy cheap. I lifted up the paper to show someone what I was doing and the mould had already gone! Thanks for sharing!

[@Ladykalashnikov]

This worked really well! I'm on a rental that has bits of mold on the corners of the shower. I have tried everything to get rid of it and this is the only thing that worked!! Thank you!!

[@pippa1703]

Thanks pal! I'm on day 4 of quarantine and this will help with the deep clean! *edit, it bloody worked great!

[@colindylan100]

Absolutely brilliant . You just save me to redo the whole thing by scrapping off the old silicon and apply new one just because I damaged it EVERY TIME I tried to clean those nasty mold . Now my wife can just do it herself w/o even bother me . Thank you !

[@graemewhite4960]

This is great! Was sceptical as it seems so simple , but can confirm this works brilliantly , glad I found this video , we were planing on replacing the sealant and this video has saved us a lot of time and effort that was totally unnecessary , nice one Malcolm

[@cemmusabak]

Same here I admit that I was sceptical! How wrong I was...

[@sally_spice4507]

This is a game changer. I’m in a rental and have an inspection next week so this came at the best time. Thanks so much for this video 🙏

[@bretsalowitz2822]

worked like a charm. The specs that do remain I'll scrub out. Thank you.

[@Dealciesielska]

Just came back to give my feedback. I was already with all my tools ready to scrap the old mouldy sealant from my bath tube when I bumped into your video. OMG. Shocked! It does work! Thank you so much for valuable tip. You have indeed a lovely voice too!

[@suzannelafontaine2801]

I just wanted to say thank you. I found your video about 4 years ago when I was a tenant with mold in my tub, and now I am a homeowner with mold in my tub still coming back to your vidwo about once a year to make sure I do it properly. I always stick around for the whole video because it's so relaxing haha. Thank you!

[@malcolmpeill5064]

It's a pleasure!

[@nickm4861]

Thanks for this video Malcolm. I've tried using various mould removers/high-strength bleaches before that did nothing, but followed these instructions last night using ordinary bleach and the mould around my bath was gone this morning!

That is on my to do list tomorrow,good video,something I,ve never thought of.

Thanks for putting this video up, as the same as most people I've spent a small fortune on mould removal stuff from off line and stores, but this simple but totally effective method worked on my showers and around the window thanks again

[@sherrinathomas7889]

Thank you Malcolm. I can't wait to try this method and from the rave reviews below, I'm sure without a doubt it will work. I completely dreaded the thought of removing all of the silicone from my shower and you have given me a way to save "back breaking" time and money! Kudos to you!

This really does work brilliantly. It also seems to last a long time before needing to repeat. I used to always try adding sealant. Top marks.

[@amandagordon1159]

I’m so glad that I found your video. I was dreading ripping off our bath sealant and attempting my to reseal myself. However, I tried your method and 6 hours as later most of the mould has gone. As you suggest I’ll wait another 6 hours for the more stubborn stains. Thank you so so much…I felt like a magician revealing a great trick!

[@lanlan9767]

Hey you think the bleach would evaporate from toilet paper in 9 hours?

[@stephanieseiler5497]

Best DIY video ever. I thought I was going to have to remove all of the silicone in the shower. I have clear silicone and it seemed like the mold was underneath it. I left the bleach and toilet paper on for about six hours and it was like new.

Thank you!!! For years I have been wasting money on so-called "mould cleaners", and none of them EVER get rid of all the mould, especially from Silicone. Who'd have thought that bleach, which I always have in my house, could do such a splended job!?! Fantastic. Thank you, Malcolm :)

Came here from a Joseph and Joseph video, don't even own a bath, but I'll keep this wisdom in mind for a day in the future. Love your voice over btw you have a very calming voice.

[@glorycedeno9046]

Great tip! Here's another... In a vented area. Mix 2 Tbs Comet/ Bleach powder and 1 Tbs of liquid bleach in a plastic cup. "Softly stir with a Straw or Popsicle stick" mix into a paste. Apply paste to the area. Let sit until it dries. Use a water sprayer to Mist and soften the dried paste. Remove with a paper towel. I use this method to remove hair dye from the bathroom walls and floor etc. You can buy sticks and a small water sprayer bottle from a dollar store. Use gloves if necessary. Hopefully, you have some of these items at home. ☺️

I just tried this today, I had some very stubborn dark stains on the silicone sealing the bottom of my custom fit stand up shower, that I had tried to remove with some specialized cleaners and lots of elbow grease, and after finding this and leaving it rest for 6 hours (had to remove it before heading to bed as the fumes were a bit too much), it worked like a charm! I was completely shocked and impressed on how well this worked! Amazing video and thanks for your help!
