A CLEANING pro has revealed a super simple way to get mould out of clothes – and there’s no risk of bleach ruining their colour either.
Carolina shared that she uses a combination of borax, otherwise known as sodium tetraborate decahydrate, hydrogen peroxide and hot water to banish it for good.
Known online as @carolina.mccauley, the content creator regularly shares cleaning tips and home hacks with her 2.8 million followers.
In a new TikTok reel, she said: “Remove mould from clothes.
“In a bowl or bucket, mix half a cup of Borax and one-quarter of a cup of Hydrogen Peroxide.
“Add hot water, [and] allow to sit for a couple of hours.
“Time to wash. Vinegar instead of fabric softener.
“Stains will be lifted.”
Shoppers can get borax or a borax substitute from various retailers, including Amazon, with prices starting at £3.66.
The same goes for hydrogen peroxide – this is also available at Amazon, priced at just £6.65.

In the comments, other TikTok users shared their reactions, with one writing: “Okay gonna try.”
“Thank you so much. I am highly allergic to mould so I would throw away clothes but definitely gonna save this hack,” another said.
A third added: “Finally! Google was no help. Thank you.”
Someone else commented: “Wait that is mould? I’ve thrown so many things away because I could never get rid out. Thanks!”
She’s not the only one sharing her tips for banishing mould online – Anita took to TikTok to share how she prevents mould from attacking the stuff inside her cupboards and wardrobes.
She said: “The little chalk hack to keep mould away that every person should know.
“Do you have mould in your drawers or in your bedroom?
“Okay, have I got the best mould prevention hack for you?
“It’s all about absorbing moisture, and if you can’t get yourself on one of those damp-rid or damp-free kits, all you need to do is get yourself some mega chalk.
“Grab yourself some clove oil, dap on three, a couple of drops really, and then you pop them in your drawer.
“Place or hang them in cupboards and drawers around the house and allow the scent to waft around, killing mould spores.
“Mould, mould go away.”
Below the video, she explained how it works, adding: “The chalk absorbs the moisture and the clove oil prevents the mould coming back.”
