My kitchen was riddled with disgusting mould – the 3 products I used to remove it, including a £1.50 buy
A WOMAN who's rented property is riddled with mould has revealed the exact method she used to deep clean her kitchen.
Bea, is renting a property off a landlord who does not care about the fact that it is falling apart and covered in dangerous mould, and is doing her best to make it into a home for herself, as is unable to leave.
The cleaning whizz took to social media to share her method for tackling the mould around her kitchen windows.
In a video posted to her TikTok channel, @cleanwithbea, she shared that to start with, she removed the blinds and hoovered up all the peeling paint and dirt from around her windows.
She then used Pink Stuff cleaning spray, and sprayed it onto her window ledge.
Pink Stuff is super cheap, and can be purchased from the likes of Poundland for just £1.50.

A product description reads: "The pink stuff miracle multi-purpose cleaner is a versatile multi-purpose cleaner spray for hard surfaces that is tough on stains, penetrates and removes grease and grime, leaving shiny clean result."
Using a sponge, Bea rubbed the spray into the windows and then wiped it off with a cloth.
Next, she used white vinegar and sprayed it onto her window frames, before scrubbing them with an old toothbrush.
White vinegar is a great natural method of busting mould, and you can buy it from B&M for 79p.
After the windows had been cleaned, Bea painted the walls around them with anti-mould paint (available from Screwfix for £23.99) to prevent the mould from coming back.
Bea's kitchen window now looks squeaky clean and mould free.
The cleaning whizz is offering to clean other people's flats for free, if they are in a similar state as hers was in.
Her video has likely left many people impressed, as it has racked up over 3.2 million views.
TikTok users raced to the video's comments section to share their thoughts.
One person said: "You’re doing great! The flat looks so much better".
Another person added: "What a difference".
A third person chimed in: "Free cleans is an amazing idea".
