The mould-removing spray Mrs Hinch fans love that can 'transform bathrooms'

It's no secret that black mould can be one of the toughest things to get rid of in your house.

But according to Mrs Hinch fans, there is one cleaning product that works absolute wonders.

From TikToks to Mrs Hinch forums, cleaning fanatics swear by HG mould removing spray, which is said to be one of - if not the best - products on the market for tackling black mould and mildew on tiles, silicon seals, grout and plaster.

A 500ml bottle of the cleaner is currently available for purchase on Amazon for £4.99, with more than 24,000 Amazon reviews and a star rating of 4.6 out of five.

But is it really as good as people have been saying? Liverpool Echo reporter Narin Flanders chose to give it a try to see if what hundreds of devotees on cleaning forums and Facebook groups were saying actually is true.

The writer tested the spray out on the mould spores that have been growing on the ceiling, tiles and grout in her shower "for years" before she moved into her new home.

"I envisaged a few hours of faff, rubber gloves, and a lot of elbow grease. Little did I know." She said. "Having taken the before photos I put on some rubber gloves and made sure I'd taken off my favourite cardigan just in case, the spray does contain bleach after all, and then liberally sprayed it around the window and on the mouldy patches of the ceiling."

Narin said that upon first using the mould spray she found it to be very runny: "So you can give it a good spray but I had a large handful of kitchen roll in the other hand to mop up the puddles that dripped down onto the window ledge once I'd finished applying it. And if you've got any nearby towels or anything you're worried about getting bleach on you're probably wise to move them out of the way."

"The spray worked equally well on tiles, grouting and paintwork" (Narin Flanders)

As a word of warning she also said that it smells strong, but: "Once I'd given everything a thorough spray I stepped away for half an hour, expecting that on my return I'd have to use a cloth to fully tackle the mould once the spray had soaked in.

"When I came back I was actually genuinely amazed. Without even having to wipe at it the mould was gone. It was incredible and frankly a cleaning revelation.

"It might be a sign that I'm old but the joy I got from seeing my bathroom free of black marks and gleaming was worth every penny of that fiver, and actually probably a lot more. I'll definitely be keeping some spray in my cupboard in case I need it again."

HG Spray is on offer at Amazon now but is also available to click and collect at B&Q for £5.40 if you can't wait.
