  • I have used this and it was really good. Then I filled the spray bottle with bleach… Same…

    https://www.bunnings.com.au/glitz-2l-premium-bleach_p4470017

    • Do I need to dilute the bleach?

      • Depends on brand, purpose required, and how sensitive your lungs are too lol.

      • full send with full power

        • And still be cheaper / L

    • Unsure if true, but people say that bleach only makes the mould invisible, it doesn’t actually kill them apparently.

    • A mixture of white vinegar and bi-carb soda is an excellent, natural, and eco-friendly mould killer in Australia. Vinegar is acidic and proven to kill up to 82% of mould species . Try this instead ⁉️

      • Except, by mixing the vinegar (acid) with the bi-carb (basic), you're reducing its acidic effectiveness. It makes a nice fizzy effect, but that's about it. Better to use separately, vinegar to kill, then bi-carb to neutralise again.

  • I love this stuff and use it in our showers.

    You can get cheaper bleach, but it’s usually weaker when you compare the concentrations of sodium hydroxide and sodium hypochlorite between them and this product.

    • It's pretty close at 9g/L vs 10.5g/L and 42g/L vs 53g/L and only 15% of the cost
      (or as I just saw conant pointed out above even less at under 13% of the cost)

      • This is one of the best bang for buck bleaches you can get. Some of the expensive bleaches are trash.

        As for "mould killer", Coles brand has the same strength as Selleys (last one I bought was $4).

        But the CRUCIAL thing is age. High concentrated bleach precipitates to the bottom and loses strength. Bleach has a date stamp (and the shelf filler kids don't rotate stock). Stuff at the back is often older.

    • Do you use it for mould or general shower cleaning?

      • I shower and clean myself with it

        • First the shower cracks, then your crack.

      • If you are looking at these two documents to see if one product can substitute for the other, yes, they are fundamentally identical in their heavy-lifting chemistry. Selleys Rapid Mould Killer relies on a formula of ~4.2% sodium hypochlorite stabilized by a touch of caustic sodium hydroxide and boosted by foaming amine-oxide surfactants—which is precisely the exact chemical footprint spelled out to the decimal point on the Power Force Mould Away bottle. The Power Force retail label simply adds a touch of eucalyptus oil to mask the heavy bleach scent.

        When it comes to the physics of how these two sprays actually behave on your bathroom walls—specifically their ability to foam up and cling to vertical surfaces rather than immediately running down the drain—Selleys Rapid Mould Killer takes the win. Here is why there is a noticeable difference in how they stick:

        The Secret is in the Surfactants
        Take another look at Section 3 of the Selleys SDS. It explicitly lists two specific chemical entities:

        1-Dodecanamine, N,N-dimethyl-, N-oxide
        1-Tetradecanamine, N,N-dimethyl-, N-oxide

        These belong to a class of specialized surfactants (amine oxides) that are highly stable in high-pH bleach solutions. Their primary job isn't just cleaning; they act as powerful foaming and thickening agents. When shot through a trigger spray, they create a dense, sudsy foam that physically traps the bleach against vertical tiles and grout lines, giving the chemical time to work its way into the mold roots.

        Why Power Force Falls Short on "Cling"
        If you look at the Power Force Mould Away retail label, it lists Alkaline Salts instead.

        The Role of Salts: Alkaline salts (like sodium carbonate or silicate) are fantastic for maintaining a high pH so the bleach doesn't degrade in the bottle, but they do not create foam or viscosity.

        The Runoff Factor: Without those specific amine-oxide surfactants found in the Selleys formula, Power Force behaves much more like a thin, watery liquid. When you spray it onto a vertical shower wall, it tends to run down the face of the tile much faster, meaning you have to keep reapplying it to keep the mold covered.

        Summary
        Selleys Rapid Mould Killer: Formulated to foam and stick, making it much better for vertical shower walls, grout lines, and inverted surfaces where you need the bleach to stay put.

        Power Force Mould Away: Watery and prone to running off vertical surfaces quickly. It works perfectly fine on flat, horizontal surfaces (like a laundry bench or the bottom of a bath), but you will find yourself fighting gravity if you try to use it on walls.

        Wouldn't ecualpytus oil stick?

        It's a really intuitive thought—oils are greasy and viscous, so you’d think adding one would help a liquid cling. However, when it comes to spray cleaners, eucalyptus oil actually does the exact opposite. Instead of helping it stick, the eucalyptus oil makes it even more watery.
        While cooking oils (like olive oil) are thick, essential oils like eucalyptus are structurally more like a thin solvent (similar to tea tree oil or mineral turps). It doesn't add any "stickiness" or thickness to the water; it just floats through the solution to provide that fresh, clean scent and help cut through light surface oils.Without a dedicated surfactant network to hold it up, any liquid sprayed onto a smooth vertical tile is at the mercy of gravity. Because the Power Force formula lacks those heavy amine-oxide "cling" molecules found in the Selleys formula, the water, bleach, and eucalyptus oil will just run straight down the tile in tiny streams.

        That’s one lonnnnnnggggg commmmmmment!

        Thanks…Ai?

        Not going to read that.

        • Ask AI to read it and summarise to two sentence 🙂

        • And you had to quote the whole thing?

          • @ak47wong:

            And you had to quote the whole thing?

            for context - lest you forget.

        • I love it when AI talks clean to me.

        • Selley’s had sticking agent do stuff doesn’t run off. Normal bleach doesn’t so it will run off.

          Moral of the story- mix a squirt of dish washing liquid with bleach. And you got winner.

          • @expertreader: Be very careful mixing things with bleach - the wrong combination can give off highly toxic chlorine gas.

            • @Nom: this

            • @Nom: Agreed. Already looked through ingredients and checked to confirm if Bleach will react.

        • I imagine not a single person who voted negative had a clue either the difference between the two products, yet still read the comment in full because it was informative. 'Oh someone posted something from AI explaining the difference between the chemical makeup of the two products having obtained the safety data sheets for each product' - lets vote negative because we always vote negative on ozbargain when someone posts something from AI. Did the comment hurt you? Or was it too long. It clearly wasn't written as if I authored it personally.

  • I buy these once just for the spray bottle and then refill with bottled bleach (think its like $2-3 for a 2L bottle). Much cheaper and works just as well.

  • This stuff is great but it stinks like crazy. Make sure you have plenty of ventilation

  • Safe to use on cornices?

    • Safe? Not sure. Have I used it to remove mould from cornices, absolutely. Did it work, yes! Did it damage, not that I could see.

  • This is awesome for mould, but the Exonic is better and way cheaper so go figure

  • Does this stuff work on mould that is in silicone?

    • no, had the same problem so I purchased a uv lamp, put that in shower overnight and the ingrown mould went away in a few days.
      this is just highly concentrated bleach so using bleach gave same results.

      • Is that for black mould in grout in the shower and around sink? If so can you pls explain more?

        • i did this for the ingrown dark mold in shower silicone, didn't try it for the one you described.

          • @backupper1: thanks, I think that is what I wanted as well, used wrong words

      • What UV lamp did you purchase?

        • simple setup of a 5w UV bulb in an E27 table lamp,
          far better than the disgusting fumes given out by this concentrated bleach.

          • @backupper1: It gives out ozone though…
            I bought two 30w uvc bulbs for the same purpose.

            Smells nice and sweet (don't smell it!).

            Kills everything in the room

            • @edrift: i connected wifi switch to UV lamp setup, closed the bathroom main door and then controlled the lamp using phone to avoid any strong uv, only this way the ingrown mould died(that had survived this spray bottle).

          • @backupper1: can you still see?

          • @backupper1: This is really interesting, thanks for sharing! Does it need to be a fancy professional hospital grade uv light bulb? Or just a cheap one on AliExpress for$6 would be enough?

            I have some wifi power adaptors so can maybe make it work for a couple of hours intermittently, but unsure if it'll make the whole house smell?

            • @pichxlonco: Any decent actual uv bulb would do(not sure of AliExpress stuff if really a UV bulb or not). I left the exhaust fan on with the bathroom door closed so you'll need to provide for ventilation for your application.

      • Please be careful if using UV lamps - exposure can be very damaging for skin/eyes, in a very short amount of time

    • My way is to roll up some paper towel drenched in bleach on the silicone overnight.
      Mould is gone by the morning after a rinse.

      • Thanks will give this a try

      • I tried this once after seeing it recommended online. It ruined my silicon (that area eventually started peeling). I used beta tilecare's mould rid from bunnings.

        • Interesting. Done it a couple of times and haven't had issues. But it is pretty strong, so I guess less is more.

    • People will tell you yes but the truth is nothing short of blasting it with ionizing radiation will kill mould that's penetrated a porous surface. They think bleach does but the roots are still there, and it'll grow back in time. You need to re apply fresh silicone.

  • Will this work for black mould in grout in the shower and around sink?

    • Yes, it will work for that, for the more stubborn bits I use a grout brush to give it a scrub after I've left the mould killer on for a few minutes.

      • Thanks, going to order one then

    • It does but not 100%. Just have to leave it for 10-15 mintues and do a second time too.

      • Thanks, going to order one then

  • Mouldy? Old?

    I gotta get something to eat!

  • Does this work for serratia (the red mould looking thing)

    • Yes, it works for that too.

      • Sold
        Thx

  • Thanks OP! Bought one from Bunnings using OnePass 👍

  • I have a cat, could the smell be toxic for him?

    • Most likely. The fumes from this one is unbearable, even with all my windows open for good airflow.

      • Thank you for sharing this. I will try some natural remedies first and if that doesn't work then something non toxic for pets as my cat is always following me around supervising my activities:)

        • Nosy cat- bet making the bed is a whole lot more effort than it should be. :) Perhaps a feline pet date at a friend's home for a day or two might be the ticket.

    • I've killed my wife using mould killer smell. So if you want to kill your cat, I highly recommend it!

  • just in time, winter has set in and my master bathrooms window sill rubber parts are growing mould. Happens every winter cos the windows get all frosty then it melts and the water settles on the rubber seals and the mould is primed and ready to propagate in those conditions lol usually clean just once and it goes away all winter

  • The only thing thats ever worked for our old mouldy house is this
    https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/368419/ozk…

    We tried bleach - no good.
    We tried vinegar - good but had to keep doing it and mould kept coming back

    This ozkleen thing, we used monthly, 3 months in a row and havent had any mould come back yet. It's not bleach based. Its bioflavinoids. I was dubious at first but it's done a great job.

    • Thanks, I might give this one a go!

    • I might give it a try as well. What treatment worked well for you?

  • What about this one? https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0778MQ4NM

    Almost the same concentration of the active ingredients, but low fumes.

    This product does go on sale every now and then. Keep an eye on 3C.

    • Is it really though? Same ingredients, I would assume same fumes. Aside from saying low fumes in the title, doesn't claim that anywhere on the packaging (or any reviews saying less fumes than any other)

  • Will this work for the mould on my bread?

  • I get that the bleach is cheaper but the syrupy consistency of this product also helps the bleach stick to surfaces better and easier to work into removing mould.

  • When it came to removing mould all products seem to just be 99% bleach.

    To stop the actual mould rather than bleaching it I purchased this https://www.bunnings.com.au/concrobium-946ml-mould-control-c…
    and the mould actually dies and it worked on walls without damaging them

    • Man… those reviews are incredibly mixed.

      • Yeah, they are, I read the bad reviews and they are from people who thought it would bleach the mould.

        Bleach is excellent at making mould look gone.
        Concrobium is better at targeting mould growth and spores, especially on porous surfaces. It also leaves behind salts that inhibit more mould growth. I especially like it on plaster, walls, wood etc as it wont damage it.

        • ""Concrobium"" also known as trisodium phosphate works in the exact same fashion as sodium hypochlorite (bleach) which also dries into salt.

          If you prefer your Nu-Salt to iodized table salt you can buy it dry as well

          https://www.bunnings.com.au/tricleanium-1kg-all-purpose-clea…

        • @kaybrr the active ingredient is Alkaline salts - so bicarb soda?

          • @expertreader: Yeah, just go to your kitchen cupboard and just dust it around your mold and you are set

  • It's funny that people buy this for the bottle, personally (maybe I'm just unlucky) I stopped buying it due to the sprayer failing… and often before I used half of the original bottle.

    • yeah exactly the same experience, i still have half bottle full but cannot spray out anymore

    • I usually top it it up when it gets half way with others. I always have a few around in other bathroom and places, that have been used. The spray bottles are terrible unless you hold it up straight.
