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 decide that it is time to open the window, and watch the steam whoosh out the window like a bullet out of a gun.

Then there is my poor little bath, no matter how hard I scrub, and trust me, I scrub well, my grout is forever ingrained with those horrible rustic watery marks. I’ve tried bleach, I’ve tried limescale remover, I’ve tried Mr Muscle bathroom cleaner, I’ve tried good old fashioned scrubbing but to no avail. I once even got so fed up with it, when I was in the shower, that I got one of the old toothbrushes.(ahem, well, that’s not strictly true, it was in actual fact the other half’s new toothbrush, obviously I replaced it in time….HONEST, but if you don’t tell, I won’t OK?) and began scrubbing bleach into the grout, whilst I was still in it.

I always managed to keep the mould and mildew to a reasonably low level, but even after hours of cleaning, it would never have that sparkle, and being an entirely white suite, it stood out. I wiped the walls, but it always left the stain from where it had been, and looked awful.

Dettox mould and mildew remover, has been an absolute godsend. More expensive than my usual cleaner, but well worth it. It’s £3.89 for 500ml, at my local shop, but you can get it much, much cheap
er from J Sainsburys, and Safeway for £1.99. All you have to do is spray on the product, and leave it for a few minutes. I went downstairs to do a few other bits, and when I came back was fully expecting to have to do some more scrubbing, but I was amazed, I kid you not. I could literally see the mould disappear, all I did was rinse off the excess with the shower hose. My bathroom has never looked so good. When I tried it on the walls around the bathroom window, I thought it would ruin the walls, but with one wipe, it was completely gone.
There is literally no effort involved in the use of this product, although you should be aware that it contains bleach, and should not be left in contact with fabric, or polished surfaces, such as chrome or brass, and you should be careful when using on coloured tiles, by doing a test on a hidden area first. You also shouldn’t leave it on for any longer than 5 minutes, in case it ruins your surfaces, it might be handy to pop the old Marigolds on too, for your little donnys, (hands where I come from)to prevent the bleach making your hands sore.

The product says it can be used on fridges/freezers, patio doors, bathrooms, doors, tiles, showers, windows and walls. So if you are tired of scrubbing week in week out, this is an absolutely brilliant buy. No more standing naked in the bath for me!! (umm, well, you know what I mean)
