I’ll be the first to admit that I hate doing housework. Especially when it involves cleaning the area behind washbasins and sinks that have been invaded by mould. OMG. Scrubbing with a hard brush doesn’t help, and neither does trying to wash it off with soap and water. I found out that there’s a $2 Mold Remover Spray at Daiso (what would we do without Daiso, really!) and discovered why this product is such a hot favorite. If it’s the first time you’re purchasing the product, make sure you get the smaller bottle that comes with the spray head.
Both cost $2 each. However, the one with the spray nozzle contains only 300ml of liquid, while the one without has 400ml. I love the consideration for the environment: when we reuse the spray head for one of those ‘refill’ bottles, we are rewarded with an additional 100ml of product.
In the very first picture you see at the top, I used the product 3 times to get rid of that amount of mold. Just spray once, let the ‘foam’ settle and do its work, and when you return, if there’s still some mold, spray again, and repeat till you’re satisfied.
The mold problem behind my kitchen sink is a little more difficult to handle:
If you keep your chopping board behind the sink / tap like I do, you’ll know that mold will start growing in those crevices as that area gets wet easily. I had to use the spray like 5 or 6 times before getting rid of a substantial amount of mold. I’m not complaining as it’s really easy to use, without the need to scrub or expend much effort.
However, do note that this product contains some really harsh chemicals that can potentially affect the color of your floor tiles if you use the spray for your bathroom floor mold situation. And you might want to use gloves and some protective googles while you’re at it too. I also hold my breath while using the spray to avoid accidentally inhaling any of the vapors released. (It doesn’t smell awesome)
I’m really thankful we have all these wonderful products at Daiso. For a really low price, they help make housework a little more enjoyable, or perhaps, less unbearable!
