In a recent post, they were left gushing over a £9.99 super spray brush that helps to clean the awkward parts of your home.
And it tackles grime and water around the edges of your windows before they can even become mould spots.
“Have any of you seen this wee gadget?” Hazel asked.
“It is absolutely fantastic, right? We actually got this and we love it. It’s for getting in all the wee nooks and crannies.
“So, say when you get a wee bit of condensation in your windows and it causes wee damp marks in your windows and what not, this wee gadget is absolutely fantastic.”
She added: “It gets in all the wee bits. Me and Claire use it on a daily basis now.
“See in the showers, on the windows, anything you can’t get in to, the wee bristles [will].
“They’re dead wiry. They’re thicker than a toothbrush.. So, they’re strong enough to get right in, to get all the wee bits.
“It is absolutely fantastic, that wee gadget. They have knocked it out the park with that one.
“Honestly, run.”
Claire and Hazel aren’t the only cleaning fanatics loving the gadget either, with it racking up over 100 five-star reviews on TikTok Shop.
One said: “It’s so handy for little nooks and crannies like your window edges behind my bath taps.”
A second echoed: “Love this. Gets right into the places where you might use an old toothbrush.
“The advantage of this little brush is that you can spray warm soapy water from the attached spray gun as you’re using it.”
“Amazing item. Cleaned around my windows quickly and effectively”, chimed in a third.
Meanwhile, a fourth wrote: “This is a very useful and effective gadget. It makes easy work of that hidden dirt around the windows.”
Hazel and Claire run their own launderette and shop in Moffat, Dumfriesshire, called The Laundry Room.
The duo are also a viral sensation on TikTok (@theweescottycleaners) thanks to their cleaning hacks – with their videos earning them millions of views.
The cleaning fanatics have since launched their very own cleaning product – a Pro Glass Cleaner that leaves the perfect streak-free finish.
What is mould and how to get rid of it?
Mould is more likely to grow during the winter months.
Olivia Young, Product Development Scientist at Astonish revealed exactly why this is.
“Unfortunately, mould is a common problem many people face during winter. It thrives in conditions that are warm and damp, so your bathrooms are likely to be the most affected place.
“That said, during the colder months most rooms in your home could be vulnerable to mould growing.
“This occurs primarily from condensation that builds up on your windows when you’ve got your radiators on.
“If you think about it, when windows and doors are closed, there’s not much chance for the air to circulate and the moisture to make a swift exit.
“This build up is what can cause dreaded mould to make an appearance, especially in bathrooms, as it creates that warm and wet environment that is a breeding ground for mould.
“If left untreated, not only is it unsightly but it can also pose a serious risk to your health, so it’s really important you treat it.
“The key to tackle mould is to act fast.
“Try to come into as little contact with it as you can. So, grab your gloves, tie up your hair and get to work to remove any signs of mould as soon as you notice them.
“To keep mould at bay, there are some simple solutions you can introduce throughout home.
“The first is keep it ventilated. Yes, even in the cold winter months try to leave your bathroom window open for at least 10/15 minutes post shower or bath. This will get rid of any excess moisture quickly preventing mould gathering.
“If you’re having a repeat problem with mould in one particular area, it might be because the humidity levels are too high. You can get a dehumidifier that will help keep the levels low and reduce the risk of mould returning.
“The golden rule to remember when dealing with mould is the quicker you can treat it, the better. If you leave it, it will only get worse so never ignore it!
“To successfully get rid of mould every time, I recommend opting for the UK’s No 1 Mould & Mildew Remover, that effectively removes mould and mildew stains almost instantly, with no scrubbing necessary.”
