A TikTok user has shared an easy and surprisingly effective method for removing stubborn bathroom mold using just bleach and paper towels. This simple hack involves saturating a folded piece of paper towel in bleach and placing it directly on the moldy silicone seals. While the original recommendation suggests leaving it for 20 to 60 minutes, many users found overnight application to be even more effective.
Cleaning the seals around your shower and bath can be a real chore, especially when pesky pink mould starts to gather in these damp areas, the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. Despite the plethora of cleaning products on the market that promise to tackle this issue, one TikTok user has shared a simple trick using just kitchen roll and bleach that reportedly clears up the problem in just an hour.
The user, known as Anneleise01, posted a video on the platform explaining: 'Do you know how your shower gets this black mould in the corners that just won't come off? Here's a solution that costs nothing, get paper towel fold it like this put it on top, get bleach, saturate the paper towel in bleach and let it marinade for 20 to 60 minutes. Once you get back it should be gone.' The method involves folding a piece of kitchen roll into a thin rectangle shape, bending it to fit onto the silicone seal around the bath or shower, and then soaking it in bleach until it is completely covered. Many users in the comments section agreed that this hack worked wonders for them, with one saying: 'This works I've done it! ' However, some found that leaving the bleach-soaked kitchen roll on the mould overnight rather than for just an hour was more effective. One such user commented: 'This worked for me! ! Except instead of 20-60 minutes, I left it overnight.' Another chimed in with a successful method: 'Tried it with no joy after an hour. Tried again leaving it overnight and I promise it was spotless (shut the door and leave a window cracked open.)' Others joined the discussion with alternate solutions for tackling bathroom mould, recommending white vinegar, tea tree oil, or using toilet cleaner. One individual contributed, 'I use Clorox toilet gel cleaner (with bleach obv) and just squirt it in and between grout lines).' Meanwhile, another commenter revealed their strategy for a more permanent solution: 'Remove the silicone. Dry out underneath thoroughly. Reseal. Repeat if necessary but problem will lessen each time.
