Where there’s humidity or rain, there can be mould — but there’s a simple hack to banish it from your home.
A $6.60 cleaning item from Woolworths and Coles has been praised for its ability to remove the potential health hazard.
Cleaning and laundry expert Amelia Liddy Sudbury says the trick is in the fact that it is a “thick” disinfectant bleach.

“I swear by Domestos,” the mum said in a now-viral video.
“My mum used it, my grandmother used it, it should be in every house in Australia.”
She said to remove mould “quickly and easily”, you need a thick bleach to get the job done.

“And for a job like this my secret weapon are these little cut-up squares that I use from old towels and old pajama flannelettes,” she said.
She also told viewers to remember the product has a thick consistency and “will hang on the wall”.
“Because Domestos clings on the wall, it makes cleaning easier,” she said.
“You only need to wipe once or twice and, look, the mould comes straight off.”
The mum shared a video of herself getting rid of the “scary and stubborn” mould.
“All I need is a little bit of Domestos on one of these old towel rags,” the cleaning expert said.
“They will wipe the mould away instantly when you use Domestos.
“It’ll also remove all the stains quickly and effectively.”

Amelia says she uses Domestos for a range of things, including diluting it in a bucket of water and mopping her floors, as the bleach is a “hospital grade disinfectant”.
Her video has had more than 135,000 views, and commenters are praising her hack.
“Love Domestos,” said one.
“I love its many uses,” added a second.
“Yep, I’ve had all the fancy cleaning products and good old-fashioned thick bleach is the best,” said a third.
