Going back to her post to update everyone who commented, Immy said: “We got a mould-killing spray which we then wiped off and it came off well.
“I did it twice to be sure and touch wood it hasn’t come back.”
As for what the best anit-mould sprays are, there are a few you can buy from the supermarket for a couple of pounds.
Astonish’s Mould and Mildew Blaster is “the UK's No1 Mould & Mildew Remover”.
It “blasts away mould and mildew stains in minutes without the need for scrubbing”.
To use, Astonish recommends: “Spray, leave for a few minutes then rinse or wipe clean.
“On vertical surfaces apply via a sponge or cloth to avoid run off.”
And it has received raving reviews online.
Patricia Comelli said: “My door was completely black with mould in every corner and after that product is white and clean again.”
Mrs L.J Hayter wrote: “Excellent product, have used it for years. Reasonable price, not tested on animals & a UK manufacturer, so ticks all my boxes.”
