The black mold has appeared in tiny spots but is getting worse, its actually in the grouting rather than just on top? Any help would be much appreciated?

Hi all...this mold is a bit weird...I've tried scrubbing it with everything and leaving stuff on it and then scrubbing a bit more...but its like its coming from within and its actually inside it the grout? The grout is totally smooth around the bath...but its out to get me! Ahhhh! Any ideas much appreciated!

Hi there Sorry for your trouble. Tilex or bleach (which is what Tilex is) sprayed twice a day Make a paste of bleach and baking soda so that it will work longer. Mold is a living plant and must be killed. Try airing out the bathroom after using the tub or shower. A few applications and days may be needed and then once a week to keep the growth away. Have a great day.

I use full strength white vinegar and it works like a charm. I keep a spray bottle of it in my bath/shower and I spray the walls once or twice a week and the mold never comes back. Try it, it's safer and smells better than bleach. By the way, all the people who pay extra for Tilex or grout whiteners don't realize that the main ingredient is just bleach which you can buy much cheaper by the gallon.

Mix up a 50/50 solution of water and bleach and put it into a spray bottle. Spray it on the whole stained area, wait about 30 minutes then spray it down or rinse it off and then wipe it clean. You can also use a scrub brush if you need some extra scrubbing power.
Make sure you ventilate the bathroom.

Spray it with bleach or tilex...beach is the cheaper solution...let the bleach sit on the mold for a bit, then scrub with a brush if it is really bad...sometimes all you have to do is rinse it off with water and the mold goes away...it is also a good idea to ventilate the area when using bleach...

Try using an old toothbrush with a bit of bleach and give it a good scrub.

"Hi, Im Barry Scott and I'm here to tell you about Cillit Bang!"
This is actually an advert in the UK that we at work laugh about all the time (sad but true) but I've tried it and it works! Spray on and wipe off dirty old mould!
Or just don't shower and use Cillit Bang to wash with!!!

hydrogen peroxide applied with a tooth brush will remove most of the mildew and rust spore stains.
Baking soda applied and allowed to soak in and then scrubbed off will also remove most mold and rust stains.
