The video – which was posted to the TikTok page 'realsimple' – shows a cleaner preparing a bucket of water and mixing some bleach into it.

A banner on the screen reads, “How to Get Rid of Black Mold.”

Shortly afterwards, the cleaner begins to explain how the trick works before demonstrating it to his 38,000 followers.

They said: “Black mold can be tackled with equal parts bleach and water.

“Use a sponge to saturate the area and a cotton ball for detailing tight corners.

“Let it sit for 15 minutes before rinsing.”

As they talk, viewers watch as mold on a bathroom tile is quickly removed from the surface.

And the best part of the genius hack is the price, as the only cleaning agent used was water, a dash of bleach and a small cotton pad.

Currently, Tesco is selling a pack of 50 cotton pads for £1.15, and a bottle of bleach for 70p.

So for just £1.85 for the tools needed to carry out the cleaning job, punters are paying just over 2p per clean and less than that for what seems like a dash of bleach.

And one comment urged the cleaner to use vinegar instead of bleach to get the best results.

And it's not the only hack recently posted online.
