Mould is a huge problem for British homes in winter.
The cold weather makes condensation form on windows which then creates damp conditions for mould to come alive.
Now since most of us will be suffering from wet windows, Mrs Hinch fans have a trick up their sleeves.

Instead of struggling to remove mould once it appears, people claim you can stop it from appearing in the first place.
You can start by placing small bowls of salt on your window sills as it'll sock up the moisture.
One woman asked the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips group on Facebook which led to users sharing their tips.
She asked: "I have just discovered black mould on my window seals in the bedroom. I try to ventilate the room as often as I can but it just makes the room too cold and I have a baby.
"Does anyone have any good tips to try and remove mould as well as prevent it from coming back? I've tried various different hacks now."
Commentators were quick to offer their advice, with many users recommending salt.
In case you're in need of salt, you can head to Asda where a 750g tub costs just 65p.
It's suggested to use around 100g of salt per window, meaning it costs less than 9p per use.

One said: "I agree, the salt trick works a treat but don't leave it out if you have pets or children who may eat it. You will also need to tackle the mould itself, try Astonish Mould & Mildew."
Another commented: "If the problem isn't too bad, I would recommend using salt or buying a salt lamp. If the problem is worse, it'll need to be tackled properly, looking at window installation or a mould product."
And a third posted: "Try putting some bowls of salt on the window sill, it will help with the moisture and is pretty cheap too."
Meanwhile other Mrs Hinch fans recommended using a 20p trick to help prevent condensation in homes.
The main cause of condensation is a lack of ventilation, but it's not ideal keeping windows open all day when it's cold.
