As households across the UK prepare for guests, the battle against bathroom mould becomes a top priority. One particularly stubborn problem is black mould staining the silicone sealant around baths and showers, a common issue caused by persistent moisture, warmth, and soap scum.
The Social Media Plea for a Cleaning Solution
A Facebook user recently turned to the popular Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips page for advice, expressing frustration over black mould on their bath sealant. They explained the stain had been present since before they moved into their rental property and had "driven me nuts the whole time." The post, seeking effective removal methods, sparked a huge response from the cleaning community.
The Overwhelmingly Recommended Product
The query received nearly 300 replies, with one solution consistently praised above others. According to a report by the Express, the most recommended product was Mould Magic from Must Have Ideas.
Enid Atkinson endorsed it, calling it "brilliant stuff" and highlighting its gel formula that "stays put for hours." Jacqueline Elizabeth Rich simply stated it "works every time," while Maria Bagwandeen noted that although "it's not cheap, it does the job brilliantly."
Further recommendations came from Rachel Fuller, who said it was the "best remover I have tried," and Yvonne Hornby, who confirmed the simple process: "apply to the area, leave for a couple of hours, mould dissolves!" Debbie Johnson also suggested the product, adding it's good for mould in washing machine rubber seals.
How The Mould Remover Works
Mould Magic is a powerful cleaning gel designed to tackle mould and mildew on surfaces like grout, silicone sealant, tiles, and some fabrics. Available directly from the Must Have Ideas website, it works by penetrating to the root of the mould. The product typically takes effect within one to two hours of application, after which the area can be simply wiped clean.
While Mould Magic was the standout favourite, other suggestions from the Mrs Hinch community included HG Mould Spray, toilet cleaner, bleach, and Astonish Mould and Mildew remover for those seeking alternative options.
