Bath Mildew removal

stevedeanlm · 2 Feb 2007

Hello

Is there any thing I can use to get rid of mildew from the sealant around the bath/shower without affecting the seal?? Or do I need to reseal the whole bath??

Thanks

Steve

Mrs gcol recommends Cif bathroom and a scrubbing brush.

Be careful using Cif if the bath/shower tray are plastic/fibreglass as it could scratch the surface being abrasive.....

Cut it out, get some decent silicone

Not scratched mine and that's a plastic bath.

You're not thinking about Vim are you?

I have found Flash Gel with bleach, does the job. Be very careful though, make sure the bath will not be damaged. Just leave it on for about ½ hour. Read the instructions first.
I protected my bath with masking tape, and just put the gel on the sealant.
Vim with bleach (the scouring powder type) can be dampened, and used in the same way. Do not rub the vim in, just place the dampened vim on the mildew for a time.
