A WOMAN who lives in a council house has revealed a cheap hack to help get rid banish the mould from her windows. Naomi explained that the window sill has been “bugging” her since the day she moved in - and that she finally had enough. And having been refused help from the council to fix the mould issue, Naomi decided to take matters into her own hands and sort it out herself.

The woman, who is known as ‘naomilouisewells24’ on TikTok, found a cheap savvy hack which saved her a fortune on getting her windows professionally re-glazed. Talking to camera, whilst showing the mould residue around her window sill, she said: “If you live in an older council house like me, chances are your window sill and window frames might also look like this.

“This window has been bugging me since the day I moved in, so today was the day to sort it out and try and make it look a little more presentable. “And before anyone says this is the council's responsibility to sort, I did contact them, they did come out and do an inspection and they told me that this is just a cosmetic issue and if I want it sorted, basically I had to do it myself.”.

Before she started, Naomi decided to give the window frames and windows a clean using some soap and a sponge as it’s “been way too long since” she had this done. Naomi then revealed that she was going to use a PVC window capping board to cover the old window sill.
