Thanks
Thank you so much for your very kind donation, really do appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed the video.😎
Definitely wear rubber gloves to twist paper towels, but remember to take them off before putting your finger in the bleach!
Same thing I thought when I saw video!😂😂😂🤣🤣 Well, off I go to see if it works! 😁😅😅
Definitely confused me...
hahahahahahaha
Cheap toilet paper will give you splinters. I use chain mail gloves when handling toilet paper.
Wtf😂
These are the kinds of things for what TH-cam was invented. Spectacular work
I never comment on videos, but this 100% deserves it because oh my god...I did this yesterday afternoon in my shower and have just now removed the toilet paper. It is spotless, and I mean *spotless*. Incredible tip, easy, and saves on hours of scrubbing. Just really, really great. Thank you!
Yes it really is amazing. No more scrubbing! Glad to help. My curtain rail tip is a good one as well ! 😎👍

How long did it stay clean?
Just get thick bleach, squirt it on and leave it for a while, then wash off, no need for the paper.
@@LurgsHowToGuides I could be wrong but I saw somewhere that this doesn't actually remove/kill the mold it just makes it clear instead of black. Does this method really kill the mold? Thanks
@@chicosstuff7432 Both - bleach kills the mould (it'd kill you too if you drink it). You are right, though, the whiter than white bit is just bleached. Normal cleaning works once the mould is deal, though...
Just tried this today and the results were almost miraculous. The silicone which was completely black is now shining white. Thanks for the tip, buddy.
Wow! I had that sink in my kitchen with black seal that was there forever. Your video pop up on YT, I tried without really believe it, and I have a brand new sink this morning! Brilliant!
Thanks, mate. You just saved me at least one day removing and replacing sealant from round the bath and it only cost me a strip of toilet paper and a little bleach.
You genius! Thanks for sharing. 😊
No problem, glad it helped you out. 😎
Absolutely incredible. Why has nobody ever told me before. This tip is priceless!
Dude you deserve a prize, and world wide recognition, I'm serious I've just sprayed bleach into the grout and it's done the trick but with the tissue it's on a whole new level.......
Most of viewers admire the tip, but i admire the voice and the manner of talking. It's relaxing)) Thank you!
Thank you for your kind words 😎
Yet another satisfied customer!.. Got my shower and sink sealants nice and white again for under 5 euros. Thank you!
I did it last Sunday 24 September 2023 in my hopeless bathroom that was very mouldy, feeling quite sceptical and without hopes. However, after 24 hour I must certify that it worked. This video saved my life. By the way, I used commercial chloro 4%
I was skeptical at first but then i though I have nothing to lose. I freaking worked!! Thank you!

I saw this yesterday and thought I'd give it a try because we just moved into a new house and the shower was disgusting, used about five different types of mould killer and it didn't budge at all.
This genuinely works amazingly, it's like it was never even there in the first place.
Yeh it really does, glad to help. Enjoy your new home 😎
Left it for 48 hours and looks brand new. Thanks very much.😊
It actually works! Even after twelve hours. I was going to remove and change the shower tray: but after the treatment... there was no need!
I've done this for years, and always thought of making a video on it. You beat me to it!
Worked great for me too! Also found it helped to:
- drape plastic bag or cling film on the outside to reduce the bleach smell
- use the cheapest toilet paper on hand; the more it turns to mush when wet, the better you can mash it to the silicone surface
- put the bleach in a (well-marked!) spray bottle on “stream” to precisely dispense and thoroughly saturate fibers
You’re a Godsend, thanks for sharing and it really works. No more scrubbing and stains still remains
Yeh it’s brilliant not having to scrub!
A load of other videos create mystique and complications about dealing with the problem, but this simply works exactly as you show. Thanks!
Brilliant, you just solved a problem I had marked ‘impossible’ Great job, thanks for sharing, well deserved cuppa !
Thank you. Enjoy your cup of tea. 😎
Wow, you just saved me from re-caulking the tub! Thank you!
Unbelievable!!!! I moved into a new bathroom and the previous owners did not clean. I thought I’d need everything redone to have it clean again. I can’t wait to try this. Sooo easy!
Wow. I've got an interior bathroom, so the ventilation fan will have to run for a long while, but this is absolutely a solution I'll use in the very near future.
Absolutely works! I dampened the paper towel to help it remain twisted. Used regular bleach to soak the paper towel. Left it overnight and the next morning the mold stains on the silicone sealant ( I tried and tried to scrub to no avail!) we’re gone.
Yeh it’s really good, such a neat tip. Glad to help.😎
I did it and omg it worked like a charm!!! Literally came out Colgate white !!!!
This method worked amazingly well for our under mount kitchen sink and the (previously) moldy silicone sealant around the lip. I used a bleach gel with a very thin applicator tip so I could get it deep into the crease under the counter, then used your wet paper towel trick to keep it in place overnight. Looks brand new now!
I saw this and thought, "oh yeah, that's really going to work". Well IT DOES!!👍👍👍👍 and I was on the verge of scraping off the old sealer and re-doing the whole shower basin! BRILLIANT!👍👍👍👍😀
Yeh it's magic, Glad it helped you.😎
I've been thinking of that too. I'll definitely use this bleach method now.
OMG Wow! Thank you for a straight forward DIY on this method. I have always just sprayed bleach, sit for 15min, then wash off with very little positive results, so I end up scrubbing. I never thought about "starving" the mold with a temporary tissue sealant. I guess this method would also work on tile grouts. Awesome video. Thanks again! subbing!
Thanks for subbing 😎
Definitely worth a try, but I'll keep the gloves on! I recall using bleach on mouldy silicone years ago, and a few weeks later the bead shrunk, breaking the seal. The silicone was noticeably thinner, so I assumed the bleach had damaged it in some way.
If you need to remove old silicone, you can try to prevent mold regrowth by treating the mold with chlorine bleach (sodium hypochlorite). Leave the bleach on for an hour or so. Reapply if necessary. Use a scrub brush to thoroughly scrub off the area to remove any remaining residue and dirt or soap scum. Rinse well and allow to dry completely. Now apply regular rubbing alcohol to all areas where you want to apply the new sealant. Allow to dry thoroughly and apply the new sealant. Follow directions on the sealant with regard to curing time before using the tub or shower. Prevent new mold from getting bad by properly ventilating the shower or the entire bathroom after use. Weekly cleaning will help, and spray on some chlorine bleach after rinsing away the other cleaning products. Remember to use adequate ventilation, and protect your skin when using chlorine bleach. Don't mix bleach with other cleaning products, especially ammonia!
Thank you so much it’s driving me crazy so I will try this now!
That's better content in 3 minutes than other videos deliver on 10.
This actually worked I am so happy right now! Nothing I have tried before has ever worked. It’s the little things 😂
Yeh it really is amazing! Glad to help. 😎
I am having a same problem in my bathroom. Thnaks for you tip. I will try and comment here about the result. This should be the quick and easy one.
Thank you, thank you, for this, we have a lovely sparkling bathroom except for a half a strip of silicone with nasty little mould spots at the back of the basin, which has been aggravating me a lot 😊. I was thinking of re-siliconing it, but now I'm going to do this! 👏👏👍 Love your tips, you've helped me out in the past! x
Me too, I used to cut out the silicone and redo then I tried expensive anti mould silicone and made no difference. This really is a neat tip! Glad I could help out again.😎
Thank you so much for this tip! The silicone strip in my shower was horrible and I didn't think it would work! It does! Thank you, thank you, thank you! 😊
Yeh it’s pretty amazing how it does it
Yes it does help, amazing mould gone from between the silicone overnight with no scrubbing
Thank you for your confirmation. I would almost bet he just redid the silicone. :D I honestly thought you can't really clean it.
Thank you so much! I always remove the bleach too quickly but 24 hrs plus close compression of the caulking and towel does the trick! Appreciate you! ❤
Yeh it’s a neat tip! Glad to help 😎
I left it working overnight worked really well. Thank you for sharing.
Yeh it’s brilliant. Glad to help.😎
Thank you.
Looks amazing. Will try it.
Be interesting to find if it also woks on that pink mould staining which often occurs.
Unbelievable, this actually works as well as he says. I never comment on these videos so thank you !
Yeh it really does, glad to help. 😎
Worked like a charm! Thank you.
Be sure to remember - CAUTION - don’t ever mix chemicals. The results can easily be toxic. Good demo. Awesome to know!!!!
Wow, I'm going to use this in my flat's bathroom. My landlord will be impressed.
And you taught us in under 3 minutes! Thank you!
Yep you could have boiled an egg whilst watching.😎
@@LurgsHowToGuides It really is a big deal. Neurodivergent brains click away before learning the thing we came to learn if the teacher rambles on for too long. We need more teachers like you! Thank you sir!
Awesome thank you! I clean for a living and this is a big problem!
Happy that I could help, it's a great tip. Hope it helps, good luck with your business.😎
Thank you for this video! I have terrible mould in my bathroom, I need to try this!
It really does work.
Thank you! I live in Queensland, Australia where humidity terrorises us more than the other states and causes all sorts of problems - mould of course being one of them. I don't even live in the moistestest part! House up for sale, not very old but had about a two inch patch of mould behind one of the ensuite taps. Used your method and worked a treat. I was not able to leave it on for the full 24 hours due to house inspection but it still worked pretty well after just over 12 hours. Will give it another go but it wasn't completely necessary. Thanks so much. Brilliant idea!
Glad to help. Good luck with the sale 😎
Cudos to you sir! This was amazing! We have been planning to re-caulk the bathtub area because nothing would work to remove the unsightly mold - until now. It required little effort and worked like a charm. I used liquid bleach but will look to get the gel stuff you have for the vertical lines. I was skeptical but extended "starving" of the miserable mold spores was the trick. Thank-you again.
No problem. 😎
Worked perfectly, thanks.
Holy crap! I was looking at getting some sort of sealant tape to cover the mold, but this looks far easier than expected. I will try it. :)
looked too good to be true, tried it out after looking at the comments and WOW i am shocked... this saved me from redoing the silicone again !!!! thank you!!!!
I wish I had seen this last week before I scraped out the moldy caulk behind our sink to redo it! ☺ Oh well, I can still use this tip in our shower, thanks!
Good luck, 😎
Great video, gets to the point, brilliant end results. Definitely will look out for this channel when I need more tips. My only comment would be I think cotton wool works just slightly better I think because it wedges in better, I liked what you said about starving the mould of oxygen, it's always helpful to know the science. 🙂
Thanks. Hopefully got plenty of other videos that will be useful to you over time.😎
Unfortunate that the science is wrong, but the main thing is that it works.
@@LurgsHowToGuides it's the sodium hypochlorite that kills bacteria and fungi (mold) , not lack of oxygen
Brilliant!!! It worked so well at ease. Thanks for sharing ❤
Works like a charm! Thanks for the great tip and the straight to the point video!
This worked perfectly, thank you very much!!!
My pleasure, glad to help out. 😎
If the mold was on the surface of the caulk then it could be wiped off. The mold has permeated the caulk (using it for food) and the only way to remove the mold is to replace the caulk. Your technique only bleaches out the color of the mold, so it will come right back. But it does make a cosmetic difference.
I was thinking the same thing. Bleach like this won’t works Once the mold got under the caulk.
Glad to hear more info! Once he was like "... Starve the mold and bacteria of oxygen" I was skeptical of the science. Thanks! Cosmetic change only
Absolutely the comment I was going to write! Thumbs up! 👍🏻
This video is just a click bait
Agree! There's absolutely no Way to remove the Mold out of the Silicone. You can bleach it or you can use a Special Color to hide the Mold. But this is not the Solution.
The Mold appears if the Vinegar-Acid in the Silicone is washed out.
But it's still dead mold so it won't grow. Also, if you can't see it anymore that's kinda the whole point!
Amazing! this worked well for the bath tub. Thanks.
I am not gonna lie, I thought this was a camera trick but it does work. Thx mate.
Had to come back and say thank you! I hate the mold in the shower. And another commenter mentioned that the goal is to starve the mold of oxygen and so I just soaked a tissue over the drain and the mold in the plastic drain cover is removed even more than when I used to try and flush out with boiling hot water! Thank you!!!
Yes it really is an amazing tip! Glad I could help. 😎
You didn't starve the Mold, the Bleach destroys the Color of the Mold and makes him invisible.
Same Effect if you use Bleach to clean your Clothes.
Tried it today. IT WORKS! thank you
Yep, glad to help.😎
Je l’ai essayé, et ça a fonctionné, juste génial ! Un grand merci
Works like magic! No scribing and it’s all white now! Thank you for this tip my friend
Man, that is an outstanding useful tip for dealing with moldy areas in the shower.
Cheers.
Mate. This is wonderful
What is more wonderful is your kind donation, really appreciate it. Have a fab weekend.😎
@@LurgsHowToGuides
This has got to be the DUMBEST video ever !!!! Ware the glove 🧤 ; then take it OFF AND TOUCH THE HARMFUL BLEACH with your Finger ☝️👉 to spread it . Dumbest idea ever; must be high on drugs. 😮😵💫
I’m doing this for more than 40 yrs, it’s really work
Amazing how it shrinks the bead too!
Hi.. Thank you very much for this video and valuable information. Initially I was not at all sure for this idea but was tired of everyday cleaning work but after trying your idea .. I was surprised and very very happy. Salut.. 👍😊
Yes it’s a handy tip with little effort needed.😎
I can confirm this works! Life and money saver!! 😂👍
Thank You so much!! This saved me hundreds of dollars, was about to get a cleaner in till I watched this..
Life saver mate, great hack and video...
Thanks, yeh it’s brilliant not having to scrub! Glad that I could help out. 😎
Thanks, worked fantastic. My tub had the dreaded black fungus. Tried other methods with bleach and had disappointing results.
I live in a neighborhood where most houses are over 100 years old. I will be passing this process to many of my neighbors who have this problem.
Great news. Thanks for sharing 😎
You can do a similar thing with bleach based toilet cleaner gel. You don't have to use the toilet paper as the gel sticks to the wall.
I use when I clean my tenants apartments because the tub always ends up full of mold.
If you're skeptical like me, I just want to put some of that to rest. I can confirm that this works. I was honestly blown away by how well it works. Only downside that I see is that I don't think there's a way to get it to work on vertically placed tile. If there was, I'd be buying a pack of toilet paper and covering my whole bathroom in it. Anyways, thank you for the video, this made a huge difference!
I wonder if some tape would work to hold the paper in place.
Use white toothpaste, the really cheapest supermarkets sell. Coat it, leave it overnight, use old toothbrush to scrub off with water. Grout is not the same as sealant
@@mayday3109 I'll give that a shot, thanks
@@mayday3109this toothpaste idea is the tip I was looking for, thanks.
OMG man, that totally worked, thanks a million for the amazing tip! ❤
Wow! Thank you. I own rental properties so loving your channel!
Any idea how to prevent future outbreak after cleaning the sealant? If I'm not mistaken, mold happens due to porous surface. Maybe a mold proof sealer or something along that line?
Best thing to help is to dry it all down after a shower. I’ve not found anything that works 100%
Wow.. what a great video. We tried, it’s like a majic. Thanks for your video 👌
Yes it is magic! Glad to help. 😎
I just bought a tube of silicon, but I'll try this, first. Thanks, mate.
Well, what about the places on the shower stall walls? Anyone knows how to make the paper tower to stay in place for 24 hours when soaked in with bleach?
Magic.. Came back just to tip (my hat) ;)
Thank you so much for your kind donation. I really do appreciate it, I don't make much and also have a full time job so thank you again. 😎
Mate, you definitely deserve that cuppa. Thanks - subscribed immediately and will look through for some more tips to earn points with the misses. 😊
Cheers. Yeh plenty of helpful vids on my channel. Enjoy 😎
This is total incredibleness!! Im so impressed. I’m going to try it tomorrow!!!
Yeh it’s a neat tip
I tried this without much hope but holy sh*t it worked perfectly ! I couldn't believe my own eyes, there's no trace left.
If there is mold under any part of the caulking, it means the caulking has failed in that area.
Excellent tip.
Keep up the good work.
This worked!!! Used it around the drain too. Yay. Thank you!
WTF--you wear gloves to apply the bleach to the paper and then use a naked finger to push the bleach saturated paper towel into the molding--like somehow the bleach now isn't corrosive???
I use bleach for everything, so cheap yet so effective! I don’t understand why you use the gloves for the kitchen roll and take them off for the bleach though, you’l get gator hands 🙈
My skin is rough as old boots !
lol
😂😂😂😂 was thinking same thing. Thank you for the top tip 👍
Do we really need to wait for 24 hours
Yes
I've been using bleach to clean silicone seals for years but never quite seen it used like this. I've got a few hard to clean areas so I'll have a go using this method!
Just tried this, was a bit skeptical, but it works wonders. Thanks.
Thanks, yes it really is a neat trick
This really worked! Thanks!
Yes amazing isn't it, no scrubbing! 😎
@@LurgsHowToGuides I was sceptical but thought, what can I lose? 5 minutes of time, a few pieces of paper towels and some bleach. I'll try it. I recommend this method to everyone.
I've never seen that thick bleach product here in the USA, must be a popular British product. I've done the same thing using regular laundry bleach (3%-5% sodium hypochlorite) and its produced similar results. I only kept it in place for about 12 hours but I made sure I kept the paper damp for that time (use a spray bottle with water in it).
Yes it's pretty popular over here.
Toilet bowl cleaner with bleach
It's here in the US, labeled as "Low-Splash" or "Splash-Less" bleach.
It worked! I can’t believe it. What an amazing hack, thank you!
Omg, that's great. I was told there was nothing I could do about it. I will try this, thank you.
Any ideas for how you would do this on a vertical wall?
channel made of bluetack or similar.
WTF I just ruined by shower last week because I'm rubbish at applying silicone - if only I had watched this sooner!
This video helped me so much!! WOW!! I'd seen this done before only people used cotton balls and I didn''t feel like using cotton balls to do this. Well, I used the kitchen paper towels and they worked just perfect!! And I mean PERFECT!! My bathroom is just like new!! And it didn't even take 24h!! About six here in Brasilia (Brasil) where I live. Thank you so much!!
Fabulous news, so glad I could help. 😎
This really works like a magic. I was able to get rid of all the mold and before and after was unbelievable.
Yeh it’s very good 😎
