Stacey Solomon has shared an easy tip to get rid of mould for good. In the latest episode of her BBC One show, Sort Your Life Out, the TV star revealed a variety of home hacks - including a way to ensure mould won't return to a particular room in the house, the bathroom.
During the episode, the mum-of-four, soon to be five, was seen helping out a couple, Dan and Char - along with their daughters Mia and Cece at their home in London. The family hoped Stacey could help them out after they realised just how much clutter they had.
Stacey and her team got to work, including sorting out the 437 DVDs, 1,011 toys and 59 hair brushes they had around the house. Stacey then gave viewers watching from home some helpful tips on how to store things for anyone living in smaller, cramped properties, as reported by the Mirror.

After lots of hard work, the family were let back into their revamped home, which left Dan and Char gobsmacked at how Stacey and her team had transformed their home. When they got to the bathroom, Stacey told them: “The bathroom was jam-packed and run down. With a lick of paint, some serious cleaning and a touch of bespoke carpentry, the bathroom has been given a new lease of life.”
As Stacey pointed out the changes she and the team had made, she noted a new holder for the family’s towels, to make sure they always had a clean one on hand – before admitting the holder mounted on the wall was in fact a wine rack she had repurposed.
"There's also another wine rack on the windowsill to hold your toilet rolls,” she said, leaving the couple laughing. Stacey also noted that there was a glass shower screen in the toilet now, as they are ‘less likely’ to attract mould and mildew compared to shower curtains.
Bathrooms are a perfect breeding ground for mould and mildew thanks to limited ventilation, high moisture levels and high temperatures. When the conditions are right, mould can appear quickly, sometimes within 24-48 hours.
According to Cleveland Clinic, all kinds of bacteria and mould form on shower curtains and liners. It is recommended that homeowners replace their shower curtains every six months to a year.
Or, to avoid mould from spreading or coming back, you could put it in the washing machine with bleach or vinegar before hanging it out to dry. Alternatively, like Stacey did, you could just ditch your shower curtain altogether and replace it with a glass shower screen.
It comes after the TV star made headlines this week for sparking a debate over how often she washes her bed sheets. Speaking on Hits Radio, Stacey said she changes her bedding once a week. However, for many this was much too frequent, while others said she was right.
