It's a well-known fact that the bathroom is one of the most common places you'll find mould in the home.

The damp and warm environment, especially around the shower and sink areas, provide the perfect conditions for black mould to appear.

And not only is it an eyesore - it can also be a trigger for health conditions too, especially if you suffer from respiratory problems.

However, before you splash out on pricey mould blasters, there's one homemade solution you've got to try, and it only requires three ingredients.

It was shared on TikTok by cleaning influencer Anna Louisa at Home, who boasts more than 1.2 million followers thanks to her easy home organisation remedies.

She says mould can be removed with these three household staples - and not only does it banish the harmful substance, it also prevents it from coming back.

To make your own mould cleaning solution, all you'll need is one cup of bicarbonate of soda, half a cup of hydrogen peroxide, and and one teaspoon of washing up liquid.

Mix all of these ingredients together in a spray bottle and container until everything is fully combined.

Then, apply the cleaner liberally wherever you've got mould in the bathroom, such as around the shower tiles, grout, taps and handles.

After leaving the mixture to penetrate into the mould for around 20 minutes, wipe it clean and you should find that your surfaces are sparkling once again.

The reason this works is because these ingredients have unique properties when it comes to getting rid of mould. The baking soda has a pH of around 8-8.1, which is too high for mould to thrive, meaning it's great as a natural disinfectant according to the pros at EnviroVent.

Hydrogen peroxide can also help to kill and inhibit mould growth on solid surfaces. But it can also end up bleaching them, so be careful to clean it off properly after you've allowed the mixture to sit.

If your mould problem is particulary bad then don't try to tackle it yourself, as you may need the help of an expert.
