MOULD in the home is not only gross to look at, but it’s also bad for your health too.
But if you’re struggling to remove it without forking out a small fortune, then you could just be in luck…because it turns out there’s a 79p product that does the trick.
In a clip shared to TikTok (@louiseli1997), a homeowner named Louise, who is renovating a two-bed 1980s property in London, can be seen showing off the toxic fuzz growing up her cream walls.
“We had a mould and condensation problem on our walls,” she explained.
“So I removed it using this MAGIC?”
She then explains how a damp expert advised her to “ventilate the rooms and use sugar soap,” which can be bought from the likes of Wilko for just 79p.
The product description reads: “Make your paint go further by preparing your walls with this DIY must have.
“Wilko sugar soap will give you the perfect surface for a fabulous finish to your paint job. Can also be used as a powerful general household cleaner.”
In the video, the cleaning whizz can be seen dipping a large yellow sponge into the sugar soap solution, before setting to work.
After rubbing the wall with the mixture, Louise then shares a before photos of her mould-riddled walls, and an after snap to reveal the difference – and it’s fair to say they look totally unrecognisable.
Louise asked: “Has anyone else had this problem before?”
The post quickly went viral, garnering a whopping 92k views and several comments from impressed social media users.
“Just sliding off wow,” wrote one.
A second penned: “Yes man yesss!”
A third penned: “Mould is such a pain!”
And it’s not the only homeowner who has shared their mould removal tricks in recent weeks.
Fabulous previously told of a woman named Tayla who showed off the mouldy wall that was breeding behind her furniture.
“Come along with me as I clean this mould off my wall,” she said.
“It was actually behind furniture, so I didn’t know that there was this much mould.”
She then went on to share the 35p trick she swears by for removing the mould – white vinegar.
The bargain buy contains anti-fungal and antibacterial properties and has around 5 to 8 percent acetic acid which can disrupt the growth of fungus and other microorganisms.
