Sure keep a spray bottle of around and spay and smell it...............
It works killing mold, but the mold is growing on surfaces that it can get grip on, sealing the grout prevents that.

How do I get rid of mildew and mold?
Getting rid of mildew and mold in grout and caulk with topical treatments is difficult if not impossible in that all too often it has grown beneath the surface of what we are trying to clean. While bathroom cleaners and home remedies are billed as being adequate solutions, they cannot penetrate deep enough to eliminate the problem. All too often, harsh chemical treatments employ acids and bases that deteriorate the molecular structure of the grout, making it more porous and susceptible to fungal growth.
In instances where mold has begun to grow, the grout and caulk must be removed and the affected area should be treated with a fungicide to eliminate any microscopic traces of mildew or mold. Then, re-grouting and sealing the new grout will help make it water resistant. However, over time, water will slowly start to penetrate the sealed grout allowing mildews and molds to grow again.
To help prevent a new build-up of molds and mildew, we at GroutRx use products with built-in MicrobanŽ anti-microbial technology. Using MicrobanŽ grout and sealant in conjunction with each other goes a long way in preventing mold.
