Our bathroom has the whole wall by the bath tiled. Between the tiles is a peculiar form of coloured grout, which wants to grow unpleasant mould[*]. The only way to reason with it is bleach and a scrubbing brush.

I know from experience that it's very difficult to do this without getting covered in water, bleach up your sleeves etc. Therefore, getting undressed and getting into the shower to tackle the scrubbing is:

  • Clearly a sensible course of action

  • Clearly something else, involving the words "lunacy" and "risible"



You decide. There's a difference of opinion in our house over this :)

[*] I'm sure this shouldn't happen in non-student houses. I guess our house has realised we're all students at heart, and only pretending to be proper people.

Normally I'd agree with this as a method of shower-cleaning (in fact, would go so far as to say 'take a shower straight away afterwards - gets rid of any gunk & avoids getting covered in water twice :)...

...but, um, sensitive skin/body parts and neat bleach *winces* - doesn't bear thinking about!

Have you tried any of the anti mould/mildew products around? They may have useful stuff in them beyond just bleach (or they may just be expensive bleach - only real way to tell is to look at the active ingredients!)
