A woman has shared a simple £2 hack to get mould off of your tiles, no scrubbing needed.

It’s never an easy feat to get mould out of a shower cubicle, especially when it loves to fester in warm, damp conditions.

This woman, who posted her findings on a Facebook cleaning group, revealed she’d found the best solution for removing the mould after numerous attempts to find the perfect antidote.

She initially asked for help alongside posting a picture of her mould-lined grouting.

People suggested using toilet cleaner, as well as re-grouting the tiles in a bid to remove the mould that had gathered around her shower basin.

Eventually, the tip that did work was refreshingly simple.

She soaked cotton wool pads in an everyday toilet bleach and lined them along the grouting, leaving it to soak into the mould over night.

In the morning, the results were pretty impressive.
