You’ve been tackling mould in your home all wrong – it only takes basic ingredient which costs 65p at ASDA
A BASIC way to remove mould takes a basic 65p ingredient from ASDA.
Nasty damp patches and condensation can spread around the house particularly when temperatures drop in the winter.
If left untreated, mould can pose a risk to vulnerable Brits with existing health problems like eczema or asthma.
But with the help of basic ingredient found in supermarkets and homes, mould can be prevented.
Owen Whitlock, Interiors Expert at Beanbags.co.uk, revealed baking stop can damp patches which can lead to mould.
He said: “You can use baking soda to naturally dehumidify a room that has high-moisture levels.
“Simply fill a small bowl with baking soda and place it on the window sill.
“Over time you will notice the baking soda will harden as it absorbs the moisture.
“When this happens you should replace it with fresh baking soda.”
Bicarbonate of soda or baking soda in a 200g packet can be purchased from ASDA for 65p.
Another easy way to reduce dampness around the house is by using silica packets – the little sachets that come in shoes and clothes – could end up protecting your walls and window sills.
That’s because they’re designed to prevent moisture from damaging a product – so they’re ideal for keeping dampness at bay around your home.
You can buy a 1g pack of silica pouches for £4.95 from Amazon – and shoppers are excited about them in the review section.
One person said: “These are perfect for what I wanted them for.
“My cupboard, where I store all our shoes, is very cold and was starting to feel damp in places. I bought these to pop in the shoes.”
Another wrote: “I have found the microwaveable ones – they work great in the car. And I’ve used the disposable condensation collectors.”
