by Graeme Murray · The MirrorFinding mould in your bathroom is not what you want when you've found somewhere comfortable to lay your hat.
But despite spending countless hours trying get rid of dirt on tiles the annoying black marks keep returning leaving us wracking our brains on how to get shot of them.
One social media user on TikTok came up with simple way of tacking bathroom mould blight.

And when he paper towel is removed, the TikTok user claikms the mould should have vanished.
Many people were hugely impressed by the cleaning hack and mould removal method.
The TikToker @giftgenius, recently shared a video of a cheap and easy way to get the black marks out.
The method uses items items already used commonly in the house already which means you do not need to spend a lot on new cleaning products.
The poster tells how all you need to tackle the issue is kitchen roll and bleach.
The paper roll is folded up an put over the mould before bleach is pored over and leavig it for an hour,
He claims that after you remove the paper towel the mould will have vanished.
Many people on the social media platform have been thoroughly impressed with the cleaning hack.
One person responded: "I did this with cotton wool, works great, Also cleaned all the gaps between the tiles."
But others said they didn't believe the hack will solve the problem and some said it just "changes the colour of the mould – rather than removing it for good"
"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.
