When it comes to cleaning mould at home, there’s a lot of misinformation floating around. From viral TikTok hacks to well-meaning advice that doesn’t hold up, it’s no wonder many people struggle to remove mould for good.

In this guide, we’re busting some of the most common mould removal myths — and sharing what actually works to get rid of mould and keep it from coming back.

Myth #1: Bleach removes mould effectively.

Truth: Bleach might make mould look like it’s gone, but it doesn’t get to the root of the problem — especially on porous surfaces like grout, silicone, or unsealed tile. Bleach can’t penetrate deep enough to kill mould spores beneath the surface, so it often grows back, fast.

Tip: Use a mould remover designed to break down the biofilm and remove mould at the source.

Myth #2: Natural remedies like lemon or vinegar work just as well.

Truth: While lemon juice and vinegar can help with minor mildew or odours, they’re not strong enough for serious mould infestations. They don’t break down the protective layer mould uses to stick to surfaces.

Looking for a solution? Our Miracle Mould Removal Gel is made to target deep-set mould without the harsh smell of bleach sprays.

Myth #3: Only black mould is dangerous.

Truth: Mould can appear in many colours — white, green, orange, brown — and it can all cause damage to surfaces and impact indoor air quality. Don’t wait for it to “look bad” before acting.

Early action = easier mould removal.

Myth #4: You need to scrub hard to remove mould.

Truth: Not with the right product. Our Miracle Mould Removal Gel clings to vertical surfaces like shower walls and tile grout, working while you wait. No endless scrubbing. No mess. Just results.

Less effort, better clean.

Our Miracle Mould Removal Gel is specially formulated for all of the above — making it a go-to for thousands of Aussie households.
