Spot if your home is silently suffering from mould with Lidl’s £10 gadget returning to middle aisles this week

NO one enjoys having mould in their home, but it’s an incredibly common household problem.

Especially during the winter where conditions are cold and damp, it’s so easy for mould to develop on the walls or windows.

However that’s only the mould you can see. It may be lurking in the walls, the attic, or anywhere else out of sight and out of mind!

Fortunately this nifty Lidl buy that only costs £10 will instantly let you know if your home is suffering from mould that isn’t visible.

The Parkside Moisture Meter is a portable device that can fit in the palm of your hand and detect mould.

It works by measuring moisture within walls, cladding, building materials or firewood and provides you with an estimate of the likelihood of mould being present.

Simply place the meter’s metal pins against the surface you want to check behind, and the display will show your results.

The meter is capable of detecting moisture measuring ranges between 0.1 and 44%.

Anything above 16% is a cause for concern, according to Damp and Mould Solutions.

If you thought it couldn’t get any better it can, as the moisture meter also comes with a three-year warranty and batteries.

Perfect for on-the-go for house viewings or checking your house during the cooler weather.
