Cleaning experts have found a £5.75 product from Tesco that can make black mouldy silicone sealant disappear.
Silicone sealant is a liquid form of adhesive. It creates a waterproof seal between tiles, appliances and flooring. Usually white in colour, it can become discoloured and mouldy, ruining the look of your bathrooms and bedrooms.
It is usually found in areas around baths, windows and shower trays. And while unsightly, it can pose health risks like respiratory irritation.
Fortunately, fans of cleaning sensation Mrs Hinch, whose full name is Sophie Hinchliffe, have shared their go-to solution for removing mould from silicone and sealant, according to the Express.
The cleaning and lifestyle influencer has more than 4.6 million followers on Instagram and often shares her garden and home tips online. Followers of hers have taken to social media in recent years to share their own hacks for solving common household problems.
On one group, a Facebook user posted: “How do I clean the silicone around my windows/patio doors?
“They are all new, within about two years (not new build) so not sure why they are getting mouldy. No mould anywhere else. Windows locked or open most of the day and heating is on. How do I clean it without damaging the carpet?”
The post received several responses but the most popular suggested using HG mould remover.
Sue said: “HG mould remover. The only thing that shifted mine.” ulie Wicking agreed and wrote: “Just used this on my bathroom grout and some mould on the kitchen wall - best thing I've tried and effortless!”
Lynda posted a photo of the product and said: “Try this, it’s brilliant.” Stacey commented on the picture of the product and wrote: “I have this, it’s amazing.”
