    Additional tip: Wet the paper towel before placing it. That way the wetness acts like a barrier so that it is not trying to soak up your cleaner AND is easier to make it stick to the places you put it.

    So I literally found this video today and decided to try it. I had been dealing with a mold issue for awhile now and nothing that was made for the bathtub worked. Soon after I saw this video I ran off to the store and got some. I was amazed at the results. It really works!

      jegramat yes I did exactly what she instructed in the video however I lessened my time that I let it sit. It doesn’t have to sit too long. The longer it sits the stronger the smell gets. My mold has yet to grow back yet.

    For those doing this, it does get the bathroom very clean, but if you notice that there are some areas where the caulk is coming up. After this is done, my suggestion would be to remove the caulk with a caulk remover, then reclean (with not too much water) allow to dry completely (I would wait at least 24 hours depending on your climate) and caulk the area where the tub meets the tile (and any other area) With older caulk, water will slowly seep behind the caulk and mold will start to form. Caulk needs to be replaced every so often. Very good cleaning video!

      I've read it might be a good idea to caulk with the tub full of water so the weight opens the joints as much as they'll ever be opened. Does this seem like too much to you?

      @@kimbaleon27 Hi guys, remodel contractor here and I gotta say I never thought of this, so really appreciate a new idea but I would say in a wood structure this would absolutely have that effect, measurable or not, the opening of joints, so...hmmmm. Gotta think about it. What comes to me is another question...Would the empty tub and the desire of the structure to 'rebound' cause pressure on the grout joints that might make them pop/fail later? I guess the only thing I feel solid about is that the joint where tub meets tile I have always done with caulk, siliconized(at least) and same with vertical corners so probably no harm in pre-stressing those joints as I generally don't think of most caulk getting brittle and failing under 'slight' pressure. It's a different story with grout. I've seen a lot of old tubs with grouted joints in the corners and at the base so I will emphasize for other viewers or readers that the key here is caulk, not grout, on that tub joint.

    I did this last night in our master shower, and I am STUNNED! Our shower grows mold and mildew easily due to poor ventilation, and has about a million 4x4 tiles, and 1x1 tiles covering the floor. I have tried every method of cleaning (some better than others), but it's such an ordeal, it makes me not want to ever do it based on how long it takes.
    I had a limited amount of toilet bowl cleaner, so I had to do very thin lines in the grout, but MAN!! It worked better than anything I have ever tried in there! I am STILL shocked! It seems so simple - I am SO thankful for this video!! We have company staying in our home this week, and you saved me!! (I especially love that you got right to the point - 3 minutes! You win!)

    After it’s THOROUGHLY rinsed, you might want to go over the area with vinegar or a little tea tree oil. Clorox does not kill mold, it just takes the color away but the spores are still there. Vinegar or tea tree will kill the mold. Did a fantastic job of getting all the crud off though.

Didn’t have to scrub or anything just rinsed with hot water as she did in the video. I will say the tiles surrounding within the tub area didn’t come out as white, & I think it’s due to not being lined with paper towel but the tub edges itself came out SPARKLING WHITE!!!

      If you should ever renovate the bathroom, have them install a fan driven vent. You can squeegee the tiles. Then after toweling, use the towel to wipe down the faucets, showerhead, shower curtain, and finish up toweling the grout line where the tile meets the ledge of the tub. It's a good idea to pull the bath mat and hang it up along the outside edge of the tub with most of the mat draped toward the inside of the tub. It sounds like a lot but will take only an extra seven minutes. The idea is to keep the humidity low and surfaces dry. Perhaps, even leave the door open.

This method truly saved me money and lots of time. The only thing I am not a fan of is the fumes from the product. I did use a face mask, but I believe I needed one that is a little stronger. Other than that, I definitely recommend this method as it truly works and it also removes the mold off the caulking as well. Thank you so much!

      You might want to try a hypochlorous acid cleaner. I like CleanSmart (stabilized) or Force is Nature if you’d prefer to make your own. You will not see results as dramatic as this video, but it’s safe to use and great for maintenance. It will cut mold/mildew over time. I have a friend who has been using a sprayer (with Force of Nature) to reach a spot in her bathroom she can’t get to without a ladder & it cut the mold/mildew in a couple of weeks with a quick shot after showers. It’s kid and pet safe and won’t irritate your respiratory system. Vinegar can be tough on the lungs if it isn’t properly ventilated.

In my state, you can’t just kick someone out, you have to go through a full process that requires going through the courts, and that could take up to 6mons, but minimum 45days. But when my little brother lived in Utah (for school) these trifling people were able to kick anyone out only by giving them a 3day notice.

    Here's a tip, don't bleach black mold!
    Bleach doesn't clean out mold, it turns it white so you just don't see it, that's why it's gonna come back in a few weeks. To clean out mold you need something that kills mold rather than a whitener. The best way is to remove the caulk, kill the mold, then reapply a fresh coat of caulk. To prevent mold from coming back, make sure you dry the bathtub with an extra towel after you shower and/or open a window (if you have one).

    OMG, OMG, It Works!!!!! I have a very old tub and tiles. I have tired Everything to get that nasty mold off, and I mean everything. I left it on overnight and really soaked the paper towels. I just removed them and I can't believe it! Thank you so very much.

      I love using lemon pledge on a towel to wipe down my ceiling fans then when you turn them on you really smell the lemon and I buy cheep big paint brushes to clean out my vents and closet doors just spray the brush with pledge then stick the bristles in the cracks to clean them out

      Use a pillow case. Place pillowcase over the blade, and wipe down the length of it. It cleans both sides at one time, and the dirt and lint goes right into the case. You can spray the pillowcase with a cleaner or furniture duster first, or use it dry.

    USE with CAUTION!!!!: As she stated if you have an older super moldy tub/shower - that you'll probably need to regrout afterwards - then this is awesome. If you're like me, with a few moldy spots in a not as old shower (2000s), you may regret using it. It ate away at the top layers of not moldy grout and now I have ugly looking grout with color peeking unevenly throughout. A few edges of stone tile also got eaten away at and I have dark chipped looking spots. It would've been amazing had I only spot cleaned the stubborn moldy spots... Hopefully you won't make the same mistake I did.

      Thank you for the comment. I wonder whether the damage to the caulking was due to the gel applied or due to the scrubbing. How do you spot clean moldy spots, with the same gel? I am also having this problem now.

      @@amberlo8660 I'm pretty certain it wasn't the scrubbing. The caulking looked to have disintegrated prior to the initial gentle wiping with a cleaning cloth. I left it on too long and the chemicals are just super strong.
      To spot clean - also with caution - I would make sure to use only on mold and not leave it on that long. I'd try leaving it for a minute or less to be safe - depending on how much mold there is and how old or thin your grout is. Then rinsing and repeating as needed.

    Great job! Just one warning: do not leave the harsh cleaning liquid on the taps or anything metal. I once left it on for 2 hours (meaning to leave it for 20 minutes only, but had to rush out to buy something). The chrome was permanently corroded, couldn't get my bond back when I moved out a few years later.

    I can't believe I'm doing this ... but SUPER thanks !!! I wish I would have taken before and after pictures !!! My wife recently became disabled which really turned my life upside down and so now I have to do EVERYTHING and so the tub and tiles got neglected. Pretty sad that getting my tub and tile back to new would be such a happy event. Thanks for this video and I will pass it on.
