THE worst cleaning combo which does nothing to banish mould has been revealed.
A TikTok cleaning whizz said the combination of bleach and white vinegar should "never" be used together – as it could release toxic fumes.
Jo – who runs the account Clean Up With Jo – said: "At this time of year mould can get out of hand, so I have some tips to keep it at bay."
She explained that a "top tip" is to use white vinegar.
Jo added: "It's great, especially on paint, where you might not want to use bleach".
But she said: "Remember you should never use bleach and vinegar together – or even in the same room."

Olivia filled a small container with fine-grain or regular table salt.
The salt helps to trap and absorb moisture.
Olivia isn't the first person to recommend the hack on TikTok.
Plenty of people have vouched for the ingenious tip, Nazia recommended the hack last year and decided to film her results.
In the video, Nazia placed a bowl of salt under her window to see if it would prevent condensation from the snow outside.
To her surprise, no condensation formed.
You can buy 750g of table salt for £1.50 from Tesco, meaning the hack will cost you just 50p if you use a third of the salt for each windowsill.
