"This won’t fix the issue," said one replier. "Bleach doesn’t kill mould, it bleaches it and when the mould comes back it will be worse."

This was also backed up by experts, A mycologist has in the past said it is "one of the worst ways" to remove mouldyour home.

Heike Neumeister-Kemp told ABC: "The fungi contain melanin and the bleach just takes the colour out, but the fungi are still there, you are just masking it.

"Six weeks later it appears to come back but it was never gone."

Others suggested using vinegar and baking soda or mould remover spray, as being most effective at removing it.

Neumeister-Kemp also suggested using vinegar, because it attacks the mould "mechanically."

He added: "So it actually, via osmosis, penetrates into the structure and explodes it, so you actually kill the fungi."

He suggested using a microfibre cloth and three buckets of 80% vinegar and 20% water.

A cloth is dipped into into the first bucket to clean a mouldy surface and it is then put into a second bucket before it is cleaned, and rinsed again in the third. The method should be used until all of the mould is removed.
