LIDL has launched a £3.99 mould-fighting, middle-aisle buy that will eradicate mildew from your home and car without any scrubbing.
The ingenious solution helps protect against mould, mildew, condensation and odours in homes, cars, storage rooms, sheds and other environments.
The dehumidifier pads contain natural granules, which help eradicate moisture, preventing the build up of mould and mildew.
Lidl is currently selling either two 500g pads or one 1kg pad for just £3.99.
The pads can also protect electrical devices and clothing, helping to keep your belongings safe.
And, best of all you simply place them in the area you want to protect with no need for scrubbing.

The German discounter is selling the pads in its middle aisle for a limited time.
The bargain gadgets are part of Lidl's Special Buy deal so once they're gone they're gone.
The supermarket is also selling a number of car care accessories this week as well as winter fuels and gadgets to keep you warm in the cold weather.

Lidl's bargain middle aisle buys frequently attract crowds and the retailer often has dupes of hot items.
These have recently included a £20 dupe of Hotel Chocolat’s £99 Velvetiser.
To get your hands on the mould-busting gadget, you will have to visit a store, as Lidl does not sell online.
So it's worth calling your local store to check for availability.
Of course, whenever buying something like this you should always check prices to see how it compares to those listed by other retailers.
You can do this through websites like Price Spy and Price Runner or quickly scan Google.
A quick search revealed similar item is selling on Amazon for £15.99 and eBay for £16.99.

How to compare prices to get the best deal
JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that'll check prices for you - so don't be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Here are some that we recommend:
- Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
- Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
- Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
- CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.
