Mould covered the bathroom of my new home – I felt sick but banished it in minutes with a single buy, it’s the best
BANISHING mould from your home can feel like a never-ending chore.
From constant bleaching to pricey products that don’t work, there’s loads of stuff out there, but more often than not the mould returns.


That was cleaning whizz Nicola’s experience until she discovered a product that actually works and stops mould from coming back.
Taking to Instagram, Nicole explained how the Mould Magic gel worked wonders in her new home.
“If you haven’t seen this before you need to get some, it works on so many different surfaces but I used it mainly on grout in the bathroom,” Nicola explained.
In the viral clip she showed what the bathroom looked like when she first moved in, and sure enough the walls were covered in mould.
The formula is especially easy to apply because it comes in a tube with a nozzle designed to get into those hard to reach places.
Not only that, but according to Nicola the formula is also non-drip, so you don’t have to worry about it slipping and sliding away.
After a couple of hours the product can then be wiped away, leaving your bathroom mould free.
“The mould never comes back,” the cleaning whizz added.
Unsurprisingly, fellow cleaning fans were wowed by the before and after snaps of the bathroom.
One commented on the clip: “It’s brilliant for washing machines too.”
“Oo, thanks I’ll be getting this,” another said.
“Omg we recently got mould in out shower and it’s right in the grout so this will be great,” a third chimed in.
Meanwhile, others wanted to know if the product would work on painted walls and Nicola revealed she’d tried Mould Magic there too and was impressed with the results.
The product can be bought online for as little as £9.95 too, so it won’t break the bank.
More mould cleaning tips and tricks
Use household items
If it’s too late, and any condensation has had a chance to flourish and turn into mould, you can start removing it for nothing.
Natalie, from Which?, said: “A few drops of washing up liquid mixed with warm water can work on smaller areas of mould on hard surfaces like walls or floors.
“Use a sponge, cloth, or brush to work the soapy solution in small circular motions over the mould.
“If you’re trying to remove particularly stubborn mould, try a 1:1 solution of white vinegar and warm water and pour it into a spray bottle to target the affected area.”
If you’ve got a bit more in your budget, you can try buying mould or mildew remover from your nearest supermarket or retailer.
You can get it as cheap as £1.20 from B&M or £2.50 from Dunelm, at the time of writing.
Call in the professionals
You can usually treat smaller patches of mould yourself, but if the problem has gotten out of hand, you might need to call someone in.
Natalie said: “If you find new mould growing quickly in other areas of your home, or the affected area becomes too large to handle, it may be time to get professional help.”
Checkatrade says it costs £25-£35 per hour or £200-£400 per room to call someone in for mould removal.
Meanwhile if you want a specialist to come and take a look to inspect for any mould, that will cost you around £50-£300.
What is mould and how to get rid of it?
Mould is more likely to grow during the winter months.
Olivia Young, Product Development Scientist at Astonish revealed exactly why this is.
“Unfortunately, mould is a common problem many people face during winter. It thrives in conditions that are warm and damp, so your bathrooms are likely to be the most affected place.
“That said, during the colder months most rooms in your home could be vulnerable to mould growing.
“This occurs primarily from condensation that builds up on your windows when you’ve got your radiators on.
“If you think about it, when windows and doors are closed, there’s not much chance for the air to circulate and the moisture to make a swift exit.
“This build up is what can cause dreaded mould to make an appearance, especially in bathrooms, as it creates that warm and wet environment that is a breeding ground for mould.
“If left untreated, not only is it unsightly but it can also pose a serious risk to your health, so it’s really important you treat it.
“The key to tackle mould is to act fast.
“Try to come into as little contact with it as you can. So, grab your gloves, tie up your hair and get to work to remove any signs of mould as soon as you notice them.
“To keep mould at bay, there are some simple solutions you can introduce throughout home.
“The first is keep it ventilated. Yes, even in the cold winter months try to leave your bathroom window open for at least 10/15 minutes post shower or bath. This will get rid of any excess moisture quickly preventing mould gathering.
“If you’re having a repeat problem with mould in one particular area, it might be because the humidity levels are too high. You can get a dehumidifier that will help keep the levels low and reduce the risk of mould returning.
“The golden rule to remember when dealing with mould is the quicker you can treat it, the better. If you leave it, it will only get worse so never ignore it!
“To successfully get rid of mould every time, I recommend opting for the UK’s No 1 Mould & Mildew Remover, that effectively removes mould and mildew stains almost instantly, with no scrubbing necessary.”
Harry’s charity turns off Twitter comments over ‘targeted online harassment’ – after boss accused Duke of ‘bullying’
PRINCE Harry’s African charity Sentebale has dramatically switched off its Twitter comments amid claims of “online harassment”.
The social media withdrawal comes months after the Harry sensationally quit the organisation and the charity’s boss accused him of “bullying”.


A statement posted online reads: “Unfortunately, we have had to temporarily disable comments on this platform due to the harmful effects of targeted online harassment.”
Dr Sophie Chandauka, the charity’s chief, pulled a similar move herself, shutting down her social media after she was trolled by the “Sussex Squad” in the wake of the spat.
Harry stormed away from the charity at the end of March, siding with the trustees who said Chandauka’s leadership was “untenable”.
In turn, she accused the royal of “harassment and bullying at scale”, and labelled the Sussex brand “toxic” – allegations Harry’s representatives have always denied.
It is understood the trustees strongly disagreed with the decision to appoint Chandauka as chair from the start, and wanted her to step down.
The flash-point appeared to be the move to transfer the charity’s fundraising operation to Africa, which caused several key figures to quit the organisation.
Dr Chandauka then explosively claimed there had been a “cover-up” at the charity.
She alleged there was “weak executive management, abuse of power, bullying, harassment, misogyny, and misogynoir”.

Major change to ID rules on cigarettes & vapes sparks fears hundreds of shops across UK will be forced to close
HUNDREDS of retailers fear they could go out of business over enforcing age bans on smoking and vape sales.
Campaigning shopkeeper Paul Cheema says new laws could be the “final straw” as they deal with aggressive customers when asked for identification.



The move comes after the hard-pressed firms are already dealing with a hike in rising business rates and feel shoplifting in their stores is going unpunished.
He has joined forces with 700 fellow shopkeepers amid fears asking for ID could lead to more violence in the shops.
On-the-spot fines of £200 will be handed out by trading standards inspectors for selling tobacco, vape and nicotine products to underage customers.
Anyone born after January 1, 2009 will not be able to buy tobacco as Ministers aim for the first smoke-free generation.
The retailers have written to Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds demanding more support for independent stores.
Mr Cheema said: “The proposed laws will do nothing to stop the illicit trade, but will put us in the firing line when enforcement falls on shop staff. It’ll be the final straw.
“We all want to protect young people from smoking.
“But badly thought-through laws won’t do that – they’ll just drive more sales underground, where nobody checks ID.
“We’re not asking for handouts. We’re asking to be heard. The government is piling pressure on our sector from every direction:”
“I’ve seen the government move mountains to protect 2,700 jobs in the steel industry – and rightly so.
“But there are 445,000 jobs in UK convenience stores, and we’re being ignored.”
“Local shops like mine are part of the fabric of British life. We’re open early, open late, and we’re there for people when no one else is.
“But there comes a point where enough is enough.”
There are also fears that adults will go to illicit stores to buy tobacco which will reduce the income for smaller stores.
Tobacco sales account for 15 per cent of the sales with six million people who see smoking as a way of life.
A government spokesperson said: “Small businesses are the lifeblood of our high streets, and our Plan for Change will help ensure they thrive.
“We’re taking tough action on shoplifters, and worked with retailers to help them get ready for the ban on single use vapes.”
