Shoppers at Screwfix are raving about a budget-friendly mould remover spray that they say eliminates unsightly and unhealthy growth in minutes. The HG Mould, Mildew and Algae Remover Spray, priced at just £6.49, is gathering a wave of five-star reviews from homeowners battling a common British problem.
A Potent Solution for a Persistent Problem
Mould, caused by excess moisture and condensation in areas like bathrooms and kitchens, is more than just an eyesore. It can trigger allergic reactions and lung inflammation, posing a particular risk to children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. While improving ventilation and fixing leaks are key long-term steps, many turn to specialist cleaners for immediate results.
The trade-rated HG spray promises a bleaching action that removes mould, mildew, fungus, and algae while helping to prevent regrowth. Its easy-to-use formula is designed for targeted application on a variety of surfaces, from bathroom grouting and sealant to tiled walls, plaster, and even outdoor furniture. The instructions advise testing in an inconspicuous area first and ensuring good ventilation during use.
Customer Reviews: 'Works a Treat' and 'Like Magic'
The product's listing on Screwfix's website is filled with positive feedback. One particularly impressed customer reported that mould vanished just two minutes after application, calling the product "absolutely fantastic" and "100% recommended."
Another reviewer, who used it on "horrendous black mould," stated it "worked a treat," leaving no trace after a half-hour treatment. A separate buyer described it as "fantastic," saying it removed mould from sanitary sealant "like magic" and was also effective on mouldy emulsion paint near a window.
Effective But Potent: A Note on Ventilation
Long-term users also endorse the spray's effectiveness. One noted it works as a great interim fix, simply requiring you to "spray and walk away." However, several reviews highlight the product's strong chlorine smell. One customer, who has used it for years for both business and personal use, emphasised its speed and effectiveness but strongly advised: "make sure you ventilate well as the chlorine smell is quite potent."
As with all chemical cleaners, it is crucial to follow the safety instructions provided with the product. Anyone with health concerns related to mould exposure should consult their GP.
