A bathroom expert has warned that bleach is only a temporary fix for shower mould and can actually push it deeper into porous materials, but there's a natural alternative that works better.

Mould can be a frequent problem in homes, especially in the bathroom. To tackle it, many people grab a cheap bottle of bleach and whilst it appears to have done the trick, it's actually nowhere near effective.

Craig Phillips, from Bathroom Mountain, said that although bleach can eliminate mould from non-porous surfaces, it's useless on porous materials like grout and caulking, which are typical in most showers.

He said: "Bleach is only a temporary fix. It might seem like it's gone, but in reality, it just pushes the mould deeper into the material. Before long, it comes back even worse than before."
