VocalNeal Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) No Home Pro up here. Tops? Global? Tesco? It is time to start maintenance on of of my bathrooms. My first choice was Vixol Oxy but thought I will be better with something specifically for mould. Edited April 29, 2021 by VocalNeal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pseudorabies Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 It's unlikely that you are going to find something that is made specifically for molds, i.e. sporicidal disinfectant, as these will likely have bacteriocidal properties as well. Anything with 10% bleach will work just fine. I've been using a spray called Promax. IDK exactly what the bleach concentration is since the label is bleached away. Probably a good sign. There are detergents that do a fine job as well - quaternary ammonium and phenolic detergents but I have no idea what those might be called in Thailand. Bleach (aka sodium hypochlorite) is pretty easy to recognize on a label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post impulse Posted April 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 29, 2021 I second the use of Haiter bleach. I had better luck in the bathroom with the blue bottles than the pink bottles. No perfumes... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsetBkk Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) Thanks for reminding me about a job I still have to do! I started a thread about this quite recently, but have done nothing about it: Here is my ceiling today: The smaller white circle is where I tried pure Haiter bleach (6% hypochlorite), the larger one was just hand soap on a sponge. So the bleach was more effective, although the soap got rid of most. Then, after reading your post,. I remembered that I had some mould remover spray and gave that a try in another corner: Before and after: I used a mop to gently press against the ceiling from one side to the other. So, not very effective - probably just moved the mould around a bit, and the mop head was pretty dirty after use. So tomorrow I'll use Haiter bleach diluted in the mop bucket and wash the ceiling using the damp mop. Edited April 29, 2021 by JetsetBkk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Dwyer Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I spray down my shower about once every 6 months with Haiter Blue ( Original , which i am led to believe is stronger than the pink or yellow ), vacate the house for a few hours then rinse it off. I usually give it a quick rub down with one of those Scotchbrite pads to remove any soap residue, nothing too vigorous required, and rinse again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rumak Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 remember to leave the bleach solution on the surface being cleaned................. usually 20 minutes or so is enough. THIS will kill the mold. Then rinse off with plain water or water and soap. spray bottles work good. don't get it in your eyes though 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevieAus Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I read on the internet that “oxygen bleach” is better than the normal “chlorine bleach “ for killing mound as it gives better penetration. We have been using the Haiter brand usually used for colored items we put it in a spray bottle and it seems to work better than the standard item, also does have the same fumes.

boonchu Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I have used a mix of beach (2 parts) vinegar (2 parts) and water (6 parts). Works well and keeps mould at bay for a long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should work as well for most fungi. When I worked in tissue culture/virus labs I would use phenolic detergents to disinfect waste liquid before pouring down the sink. Bleach is corrosive to metals and reacts with nitrogen containing groups (amines) releasing chlorine gas which was a concern for our application. Solutions with benzalkonium chloride work as well but not as well as bleach. However benzalkonium chloride and other quaternary ammonium detergents don't have a strong smell.

Always use a rated filter mask, not a simple cup shaped paper one. ventilate area with a fan too is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it looks like this you need something stronger But yeah there are creams with clotrinazole or tolnaftate that work well for this. A soap will kill what's on the surface but the yeast/fungi that causes jock itch gets under the skin. The soap probably won't reach this. But it should help prevent the spread to others.
