So, how did Lucie use the device to eradicate the mould? She explained: "I sprayed the shower. I used a foaming bathroom cleaner, I sprayed it on and I let it sit for a couple of minutes.

How to stop mould in the bathroom
Get rid of moisture
Mould thrives in damp places, So one good way to keep it dryer is to use towels immediately after use to help dry off any damp areas. Use mould-resistant paint in the bathroom, and a mould-resistant sealant.
Cleaning the bathroom regularly is another key way to keep mould away, preventing rather than curing the issue. Once you have mould, it is key to act fast, remove any mouldy sealant and replace it.
