White vinegar can tackle mould on walls by killing spores at the root, according to paint expert Lucy Steele. The natural kitchen ingredient offers an effective alternative to harsh chemical sprays.

Property owners have consistently relied on chemical sprays to combat mould on walls, despite their harsh odours and potential health risks.

These strong-smelling cleaners may provide a quick fix, but they often merely bleach the surface - and before long the mould reappears yet again. However, there's a natural ingredient you can use and it's more efficient without the toxic fumes and could save you money as well.

I've tried it and not only does it eradicate the visible mould, but it also helps prevent regrowth - without needing to use bleach.
