Dettox Mould and Mildew Cleaner

I would just like to point out that this product has now changed it's name back to Dettol. I would like to talk about mould and damp, I know it's not a popular topic or a particularly interesting one but it is one that seems to crop in my life a lot! You see I think it follows me, now before you call for the straight jacket or strong medication (I'm already on that!) I will tell you briefly why. When the other half and I first started living together we rented a 1 bedroom flat that was quite cute after about 3 months I noticed so damp patches in the bathroom and on some walls. So I informed the landlord his solution was to paint over them! Because I was also ...  Read the complete review

I discovered Dettox anti-bacterial mould and mildew cleaner about ten years ago. We had some mildew in our bathroom, and some mould along a wall in our dining room after a very rainy winter. I was rather sceptical about this product's claims, having spotted it in a supermarket, but am usually willing to try anything once. This is a bleach-based spray in a plastic container. It's not an aerosol, just a regular squirting spray, so no danger to the ozone layer, nor potential for explosion if it becomes over-hot. I was quite pleased with the results, and since then have ensured I always have some in the bathroom cupboard. The container is a ...  Read the complete review

Mould is a word which conjures up different pictures in the individual imagination. To some it is the green and white stuff which attaches itself to that old satsuma left in the fruit bowl after Christmas. For others it is dark slime which creeps inexorably up the bathroom wall high up where it joins the ceiling. If any of you have the old metal Crittall windows, so fashionable decades ago, you won't want to be reminded of it's greedy presence. Mould is a live fungus, a microbial growth which ranges from the miraculously beneficial Penicillin, through the green pin mould which grows contentedly on bread, to the black stuff which attaches itself ...  Read the complete review

Picture the scene?.. I am currently in the process of selling my house and the buyers' surveyor is coming tomorrow morning to make an assessment on my property. This is the bit that I have been dreading. Don't get me wrong I know that my house has always been well cared for and any problems have been addressed as they have occurred, but I am so scared he'll find something that we don't know about and our buyers will pull out. I know it?s silly but I can?t help it! On rereading I have just realised how sexist that remark is! It could just as easily be a lady surveyor couldn't it? Anyway back to the opinion - the one thing ...  Read the complete review

This is a tale of grime, of blood sweat and tears, of standing naked in a bath, with a toothbrush scrubbing for England! Since moving into our house, we have always had a problem with mildew and mould. Now, one could argue that the mould/mildew in the bathroom could be put down to the lady of the house. The lady of the house, whom from this point on we shall call....ME, likes to have an hour long bath with the door and window closed. Sometimes ME likes to alternate this pattern, and so therefore opts for the worlds longest shower, whereupon the steam will circulate around the room several times. Unable to see through the now thick smog, ME will finally ...  Read the complete review
