B&M shoppers have raved about a cheap and effective item they say gets rid of mould, which can be bought in stores for only £1.50. Since the product isn't available on the B&M website, you can purchase it online from Ocado. Some shoppers have taken to social media to praise the cleaning spray and claim it works like magic on bedroom and bathroom surfaces.
Taking to the Cleaning Tips and Tricks Facebook group, a mum asked for tips on how to tackle the everyday household problem and some people were quick to share their solutions. She penned: "Any idea how to stop mould growing in the bedroom?" The woman was flooded with suggestions, with some suggesting she use an 'amazing' B&M mould remover product.
One person said: "Killrock mould spray, from home bargains or B&M about £1.50 spray leave on or spray and wipe on PVC." Another person chimed in: "It's brilliant." A third user said: "Best stuff I’ve ever used!"

But thankfully, there are ways you can deal with the problem - even if mould has already arisen in your home. Baqir Khan, who is the owner of Proactive Cleaners, previously told The Mirror that using soap and water on the affected area when it comes to removing mould from windows.
The cleaning expert said: "The safest method for removing mould from windows is to use a solution of soap and water or a light detergent while wearing protection." The expert explained that using bleach can damage the finishes, advising on alternatives like hydrogen peroxide or vinegar and water.
He recommends using a sponge or towel to clean the impacted areas will help them from spreading further. Baqir explained: "Bleach can harm finishes and may not be as successful in getting rid of mould from porous materials, so stay away from applying it to window surfaces. For safe removal in such circumstances, it would be preferable to seek expert assistance."
According to the National Health Service (NHS), mould can have an impact on respiratory problems and impact those with allergies. The health body says: "Inhaling or touching mould spores may cause an allergic reaction, such as sneezing, a runny nose, red eyes and skin rash. Moulds can also cause asthma attacks."
