My walls were covered in thick, black mould – the £1.50 spray I swear by that got rid of it and it hasn’t come back

A WOMAN has shared images of horrendous black mould all over her walls. 

And have asked cleaning fans for their tips and advice on how to get rid of it. 

Immy Taylor took to the Facebook Group, Mrs Hinch’s DIY tips and tricks to ask for help. 

She said: “Hi all, we’re renovating our first home and have come across a few damp patches when we removed the wallpaper. 

“Does anyone have any recommendations on how to remove the mould and stop it coming back? Thanks in advance.” 

She uploaded four images of mould across several walls, with some areas so thick it was pure black. 

Grace Sichel suggested: “Wash with bleach then find a special spray against future mould, but must find the cause!!” 

Doris Hynes said: “Spray with mould and mildew spray to treat it follow directions on the bottle for how and what to do.”

Louise Littlewood added: “Clean with mould and mildew remover.

“Plenty of ventilation and dehumidifier when windows are shut. Don't put anything against that wall.”

Elaine Westwood advised: “Open windows in the room us mould spray - make sure you use a mask. 

“Leave for one hour, scrub the bleach and water, and scrub. 

“Do not go in the room for a few days as the smell is overwhelming. 

“But it worked on mine and it was worse than that.”

Lisa Pritchard commented: “Mould spray.

“Wear a mask you don't want that getting on your lungs, also put some anti mould paint on it.”

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.”

Decia added: “It’s fantastic and it really works.” 

Astonish’s Mould and Mildew Blaster can be purchased from Sainsbury’s for £1.50.
