Mold warriors come to the woman's rescue with a £2 solution to help her black walls

A WOMAN has left people stunned after revealing how a drain leak led to her flat being covered in black mould.

She admitted that she had been asking her landlord to fix the leak for the past two years, but that he had “ignored” her request.

And as a result, there was barely an inch of wall that wasn't covered in mold.

She started by showing the mold in the front room before taking the camera into the bathroom.

And again the mold covered the wall from floor to ceiling and even began to climb the ceiling.

After they get the video on Instagram she was flooded with comments from people telling her to leave the property for the sake of her health.

But other comments came from mold warriors, all eager to offer their suggestions to help.

“Use 1 cup of borax to 1 liter of hot or boiling water, adding a dash of lemon juice if it crystallizes or is difficult to dissolve,” one person wrote.

“Wait until it cools and put it in spray bottles.

“Spray directly onto the mold. Wipe off with a cloth.

“Repeat until it's all gone and don't rinse.”

They added: “Also, do not use bleach. It feeds fungal mycelium.”

While Borax – sodium tetraborate decahydrate – is more commonly used in the US, in Britain it can be purchased for around £2 per bag.

“Tear out the drywall and run a dehumidifier for a week, and then you may have gotten 'enough' of the moisture out to prevent future mold growth,” said another.

“At that point you can put the dry wall back in and refinish the room…

“The orange spots are scary!”

“Burn everything, there is nothing you can save but yourself,” said a third.

While others admitted it took them a while to realize they were looking at mold and not wallpaper.

“That's wallpaper, right? THAT'S WALLPAPER, RIGHT????” one said hysterically.

“Legit thought this was wallpaper,” another commented.

“Wow, that's such a beautiful wallpaper,” wrote a third.

“It looked like some kind of nice wallpaper at first. Jesus,” someone else said.

“At first I thought this was a really nice wallpaper,” agreed another.

“But oh no no no, that's not good.

“I pray this doesn't affect you internally.

“Bad landlord.”
