'I copied Stacey Solomon's 59p hack to rid my bathroom of mould'
Bathroom mould is something that many householders struggle with, especially in the winter months. The damp rooms with often insufficient ventilation can quickly become a breeding ground for spores. But getting rid of the unsightly mould doesn't have to be an arduous task. READ MORE: 'My periods last as long as four months, but it took doctors seven years to diagnose me' READ MORE: 'I started working at Bury Market when I was 12 - now my business is set to make £11m' Our bathroom takes a hammering with teenagers having extra long showers and it's almost inevitable that we'll get patches of the stuff popping up from time to time. Keeping the seal clear can be the hardest part, especially when it starts to seep between the plastic and the glass. Sick of looking at it, but not having time right now to reseal the whole thing, I decided to follow a tip from the BBC One show Sort Your Life Out, presented by Stacey Solomon. It was an episode filmed in Manchester with a couple and their children, who were struggling to keep on top of things in their home. The episode showed cleaning expert Iwan Carrington sharing a 'really easy' way to remove mould from their bathroom. Spotting the mould on the bath sealant, he said: "All you need to do is get some neat bleach and then just run a line of it along that sealant." He then covered the area with cotton wool balls to keep the cleaning product in place and the following day the sealant was clean. I did exactly that, with a 59p bottle of bleach from Home Bargains and some cotton wool costing just pennies for the amount used. I put bleach on both sides of the glass seal and held it in place with swabs of the cotton wool. I wasn't convinced it would clear the patches as I'd tried several cleaning products previously - some of the containing bleach - and nothing had shifted them. But within 24 hours, this worked its magic and left my seals gleaming. We'll get round to a reseal eventually, but it's a pretty quick way to sort it and stop it getting worse in the meantime. The fifth series of Sort Your Life Out began on February 11, with new episodes airing every Tuesday night at 8pm.
