Mould is a common household nuisance, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom, where damp conditions provide the perfect breeding ground.

It's not just unsightly; it can also pose health risks, particularly for those with allergies or respiratory conditions.

But fear not, because a budget-friendly cleaning product from ALDI is making the battle against mould a whole lot easier.

In a discussion on a social media group, a professional cleaner revealed her secret weapon for banishing mould and soap scum without breaking the bank: ALDI's own brand Mould Away.

While ALDI's Di San products often steal the limelight on social media, this cleaner swears by the discount retailer's Power Force Mould Away spray, priced at $2.79.

'I'm a cleaner, and this stuff works wonders on mould and soap scum and is like half the price of Woolies and Coles,' she revealed.

ALDI's Mould Away spray is the store's answer to the popular cleaning product Exit Mould. However, it comes at a fraction of the cost, with Exit Mould retailing at $9.50 for the same quantity.

The cleaner's endorsement was echoed by other group members who praised the product's effectiveness and affordability.

One shared: 'Totally agree; I always have a couple of bottles on hand.'

Another praised the product's multipurpose usage, stating: 'Works on everything, stains on white clothes, etc. I sprayed it on my sink this morning—WOW.'

While other members say that 'all ALDI cleaning products are good,' the main remark amongst them was that Mould Away 'works a treat'.

The claims have been verified by CHOICE, who have given the multipurpose cleaner a rating of 86 per cent.

Despite its wonderful impressive outcome, the professional cleaner offered a word of caution about the mixture's potent smell, advising people to have proper ventilation when using the item.

For people sensitive to the pungent scent, she advised an alternative option: the $7 Jif, which has a more minimal odour.

While cleaning products can help eliminate mould, prevention is always better than cure.

Here are some tips to help prevent mould growth in your home:

- Ensure proper ventilation: Open windows and use exhaust fans to reduce moisture.
- Fix leaks: Leaky pipes and roofs can create damp conditions that encourage mould growth.
- Use a dehumidifier: This can help reduce the amount of moisture in the air.
- Regularly clean damp areas: Regular cleaning can prevent mould spores from taking hold and growing.

In conclusion, ALDI's Mould Away is a cost-effective solution for tackling mould in your home, especially for thrifty mums like this one who shared the product as her ‘secret tip’ online.

However, it bears repeating to use it in a well-ventilated area due to its strong scent. And don't forget, prevention is key when it comes to mould.

Regular cleaning and maintaining a dry, well-ventilated home can go a long way in keeping mould at bay.

On the prevention side, I've been told that an air purifier helps against mould.
