A SAVVY grandmother has taken to TikTok to reveal how she tackled the mould on her windows – and claims a £2 spray from Home Bargains is the answer.
Denise Wakefield, known online as @thefruglefoxlady, shared the various sprays she’d tried on the black mould she found in her bedroom.
And while most had recommended she use the Baufix Mould Remover Spray, the cleaning fan claimed this didn’t help at all.
Instead, she suggested her followers try the Kilrock Mould Spray, which left her windows looking brand new – and costs just £1.99.
She said: “I’m ashamed to say this is my little bedroom. I’ve normally got a net curtain there and I didn’t really notice.
“So I’ve just been cleaning today [and] I used the Baufix because I thought it were really good, but that one didn’t do a damn thing.

She’s not the only one sharing her tips on how to banish mould and condensation for good – TikTokker @wilmill18 took to TikTok to reveal that the Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) unit he fitted on his hallway ceiling has completely solved the problem.
And it’s helping keep his home warm too.
He said: “I see a lot of videos about people who have a problem with damp or mould around their windows and I just wanted to quickly share how I solved mine.
“So this window in my daughter’s bedroom has got two external walls.
“Old Victorian house, this wall used to get soaking wet with condensation. This corner down here used to get cold, damp.
“This window was black with mould.
“I used to have a dehumidifier and all those little tricks of mould remover never worked.
“So last winter I installed this up in the loft. It’s a PIV unit – positive input ventilation.
“It takes filtered air from the loft and it just has a constant blast, even spray of air that comes out.
He continued: “So the bedroom now, even though it’s still quite cold in here when the heating’s not on, the humidity has dropped from an average of over 80 per cent to always around 60, 70, and mould has never returned.
“This window used to stream with condensation, now maybe a little bar on the very coldest of days and that will go very quickly as well.
