In a clip shared on TikTok (@Louiseli1997), a homeowner called Louise, who is renovating a two-bedroom 1980s property in London, shows off the toxic lint growing on her cream-coloured walls.
“We had a mold and condensation problem on our walls,” she explained.
“So I removed it with this MAGIC?”
She then explains how a moisture expert advised her to 'ventilate the rooms and use sugar soap', which can be bought for just 79 cents from Wilko, for example.
The product description reads: “Take your paint further by prepping your walls with this DIY must-have.
“Wilko sugar soap gives you the perfect surface for a beautiful finish to your paintwork. Can also be used as a powerful general household cleaner.”
The video shows the cleaner dipping a large yellow sponge into the sugar soap solution before getting started.
After rubbing the wall with the mixture, Louise shares a before photo of her mold-riddled walls, and an after photo to show the difference – and it's fair to say they look completely unrecognizable.
Louise asked, “Has anyone else had this problem before?”
The post quickly went viral, receiving a whopping 92,000 views and several comments from impressed social media users.
“Just slipping away, wow,” wrote one.
A second wrote: “Yes man yesss!”
A third wrote: “Mold is so annoying!”
And it's not the only homeowner who has shared their mold removal tricks in recent weeks.
Fabulous previously told about a woman named Tayla who showed off the moldy wall brooding behind her furniture.
“Come with me while I remove this mold from my wall,” she said.
“It was actually behind furniture, so I didn't know there was that much mold.”
She then shared the 35p trick she swears by for getting rid of the mould: white vinegar.
The bargains contain antifungal and antibacterial properties and contain about 5 to 8 percent acetic acid, which can disrupt the growth of mold and other microorganisms.
