I’m a cleaning pro – how to get rid of mould and make grotty shower grout sparkle on the cheap
A CLEANING pro has revealed the super simple way she banishes pink mould in her shower – and there’s minimal scrubbing required too.
Sam suggested using a mix of baking soda and washing up liquid to tackle grotty grout and claimed it’ll leave your bathroom looking brand new in minutes.
People couldn’t believe how cheap her hack was too, as she claims it’ll cost you as little as £1.20.
Known online as @thecopperelm, the Colarado-based content creator regularly shares handy home hacks and cleaning tips with her 422,500 followers.
In a new TikTok reel, she said: “Getting rid of the pink mould off a marble shower with just baking soda and dish soap.
“I couldn’t find a household cleaner that was safe on natural stone and Google told me to give this a try.
“Although some places did say you should use hydrogen peroxide as well, I didn’t have any.
“This worked so well. Within seconds of scrubbing it was completely clean.
“I give this one a 10 out of 10, and I will be doing this at least once a week.”
During the 19-second video, Sam was seen pouring some baking soda and a generous squeeze of washing-up liquid into a bowl, before placing a thick layer over the mould and grime in between her tiles.
After 10 minutes, she scrubs the area with a handheld electric cleaning brush before rinsing it with hot water, leaving it looking brand new.
Below the video, she added: “Sometimes the best option is to go back to the basics.
“I scrubbed the entire shower and then did the whole bathroom floor. Took maybe 10 minutes total and now it’s spotless.
“The fact that it was basically free? Even better.
“I used about a half a cup of baking soda and maybe two tablespoons of dish soap.”
Shoppers can pick up dish soap from various retailers, including Asda, where their Just Essentials Washing Up Liquid will only set you back 45p.
Baking soda is also available to buy in-store or online for as little as 75p.
Fans loved her cheap solution, with her idea gaining more than 7,200 likes and 166,700 views.
In the comments, TikTokkers shared their reactions, with one writing: “Just did this with peroxide and the shower looks so sparky. Thanks for the tip.”
“No way I used bleach and cannot get the bleach smell to go away with windows opened too smh,” commented another.
A third added: “After using an abrasive, make sure to reseal Stone floors for be resealed at least once a year. Without it, stone will darken over time.”
Others shared their own hacks, with another adding: “Just leave it on overnight and spray it off in the morning add some vinegar….no scrubbing.”
Someone else put: “That recipe with peroxide will take stains out of clothes amazingly well.”
