I tried everything to tackle mould but it kept on coming back – a 99p buy from Home Bargains was a game-changer

WITH temperatures now dropping, millions of households around the world are dealing with the same issue - mould.

According to data by Homebrite, the problem is huge - an astronomical 58% of privately rented households across England have reported damp, mould and/or excessive cold.

But not can only black spores make for an unsightly mess, the widespread fungi, as well as being exposed by dampness, can also have a negative impact on your health.

The NHS warned that those particularly vulnerable are people with respiratory problems, respiratory infections, allergies or asthma, as well as newborns, young children and the elderly.

Being exposed to and inhaling the mould spores can cause a range of issues, such as sneezing, a runny nose, red eyes and skin rash.

In some cases mould can also cause asthma attacks.

As autumn is well and truly here, hundreds of Brits have been taking to social media to seek advice and share their top tips to tackle mould.

Amongst them was also one anonymous Facebook user who shared their woes on the popular .

The person wrote: ''How to stop mould on inside of walls of the window?

''I’ve tried white vinegar. I’ve tried all the mould sprays. It keeps coming back.''

Luckily for the anonymous member - as well as anyone else dealing with the common issue - was soon inundated with responses.

More than a dozen people flooded to the comments section to share their favourite remedies, which ranged from simple solutions to snapping up bargains from the high street.

One suggested: ''You could open the window for a while. Then put heating in the room.''

Another recommended: ''Mould Magic from Must Have Ideas ( online shop)....Its a gel that is left on for a few hours then wiped off.
