SHOPPERS are rushing to buy a bargain spray that cleans mould “in 15 minutes”.
Home Bargains fans spotted the item and shared the helpful find on social media this week.
Home Bargains fans are praising a £1.25 mould spray
Mould and condensation can spread around the house particularly when temperatures drop in the winter.
If left untreated, mould can pose a risk to vulnerable Brits with existing health problems like eczema or asthma.
But one savvy shopper has found a mould remover spray from Home Bargains that can eliminate mould and mildew.
They shared their find in the Facebook group Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips.
The shopper said: “My vertical blinds were covered in mould. I used this mould and mildew spray from Home Bargains £1.25.
“Sprayed on and left for 15 mins and it was gone!”
People were quick to comment, praising the spray for its “quick results”.
One Facebook user said: “Brilliant stuff that. Use it on my blinds and walls.”
Another said: “Worked on mine too. I sprayed on and when I went back to scrub them it had already gone, hasn’t come back since.”
While a third added: “Yes it’s a total game changer and I use it all around the house.”
If you want to try the spray, you’ll have to visit your nearest Home Bargains as it isn’t available online.
But you may want to call before your visit to avoid a wasted trip if it isn’t in stock.
You can find your nearest Home Bargains by using the store locator tool on the retailer’s website.
But make sure to shop around elsewhere as well in case there’s a better deal on offer at another store.
You can use tools like Google Shopping to compare prices, or download the Latest Deals app to search items and find where they’re cheaper.

Dehumidifiers are a good idea to keep by windows to prevent condensation from collecting – shoppers have even spotted one that costs £50 from Argos.
