A cleaning guru has revealed a budget-friendly hack costing just 70p that claims to eliminate black mould in just a few hours. Black mould, a type of fungus that thrives in warm, damp, poorly ventilated areas, is not only unsightly but can also pose health risks, including respiratory and lung issues. The hack, shared on TikTok by a user named Jess (@homeby.jess), showcases how she successfully tackled mould-covered bathroom seals using this method.
In the video, Jess applied bleach to the affected seals, covered them with cotton pads soaked in bleach, and left them for around seven hours. The results were astounding, with the mould visibly diminished. Jess emphasised the effectiveness of this simple and affordable technique, especially for renters looking to refresh their living spaces without expensive replacements.
While bleach is considered a potent anti-mould solution, experts also suggest using a mix of bleach and water spray or alternative household items like baking soda and white vinegar. However, caution is advised as certain types of bleach may cause damage to sealant materials, prompting the need to assess the severity of the mould issue before application.
Specialists recommend using bleach cautiously and suggest reserving its use for stubborn mould problems. Bleach can be purchased for as little as 70p from supermarkets like Tesco and Sainsbury’s, making it an accessible solution for addressing black mould.
