I have serious black mold in the grout between the tiles over my bathtub/shower. All the mold removal tips I can find depend on gravity, like letting bleach or other concoctions soak in over time. How can I do this? I'm hoping it can be accomplished without my arms falling off.

Thanks! Jamjar

I read to use lysol toilet bowl cleaner, and I did this. It took 2 or three days of reapplying and scrubbing, but it eventually came clean!

Have you tried vinegar to remove the mold?

I would spray with a bleach & water solution & lightly brush everyday (don't kill yourself). Eventually it will come clean, then you'll just need to spray after showers & brush once a week. Good luck.

At Home Depot or Lowes, get Krud Kutter. I buy the gallon [$11.35] and put some in a spray bottle and spray my tile & grout which hadn't been cleaned for many months. It did run some, but what was left worked on the grout. Just rinsed it all off and now is sparkling clean. I also use it on the tile/grout in my breezeway, as my 2 adoptees [Shih Tzu dogs] have never been housebroken and the urine stain is 'renewed' daily by them. Again, I just spray, have a cup of coffee, then mop with clean water. Stain gone [til they use the same spot again]. Just DON'T use it on any finished wood, as it will strip off the finish and the color! I even use it [about 1/4 cup in washing machine for soiled dog beds.

EASY-OFF BAM® Multi-Surface Power Toilet Cleaner

Just run this jell down your grout lines. Walk away for 5 mins. (Or sit and watch it work!) The black mold will be GONE. Zero scrubbing!!! Just rinse with water. Also, work quickly...the bleach smell is heavy.

I promise your grout lines will be printer paper WHITE!!!

Scouts Honor!!!

...did I mention NO scrubbing!
