B&Q shoppers have been rushing to snap up a cheap product that is said to stamp out mould and condensation in 48 hours.
As temperatures continue to plunge and energy bills still at an all time high, households may find themselves dealing with more condensation and black mould. Not only does it look unsightly, the two pose a health hazard to vulnerable people with respiratory conditions.
One such item could help manage the problem is a dehumidifier absorbs any excess moisture from the home. While many of them can come with quite a steep price tag, B&Q is currently selling one for just £7.50 that has received glowing praise from shoppers.
The Manchester Evening News reports that the Blyss Curve Reusable Dehumidifier has been met with rave reviews online, with one shopper saying that it completely eradicated mould and condensation within just two days.
B&Q says that its dehumidifier will help to combat undesirable consequences of high humidity such as condensation, damp, musty smells, wood rot, mould and mildew. It also comes with a spill proof design and a water level monitor for you to check the amount of moisture inside.
One five-star reviewer wrote: "Doesn't need need power, one ring is enough for 1.5 time its about 1litre of water."
A second happy shopper wrote: "Product works very well. Lots of moisture removed from room."
A third raved: "Bought this to help with condensation in our bathroom which was causing black mould to appear.Wasn't sure if theses things actually worked but was willing to have a try. Within 2 days of use there was 1cm depth of water in collection tank!
"The solid disc you pop in the top slowly dissolves and [the] water collects in the tank. Condensation gone, black mould gone. Have put one in my loft (now with more insulation) as I noticed water on the top of Xmas decoration box. That's working up there too. Well worth the money."
A fourth person said: "Excellent at absorbing moisture, even from my metal patio doors."
Meanwhile, a fifth added: "I found this after the other well known brand sold out overnight. I noticed the reviews were much better on this one anyway so decided to give it a go and so glad I did. We have one in the front room and one in a bedroom and the amount of liquid it has collected is crazy."
You can purchase the Blyss Curve Reusable Dehumidifier for just £7.50 from the B&Q website.
