Disgusted mum’s warning after she finds what’s hiding in her daughter’s lunchbox & tells parents to check their kids’
A MUM has revealed what’s been lurking inside her daughter’s school lunchbox which she’s used for two years.
When cleaning the lunchbox she discovered loads of mould hiding beneath the silicone seals.
Ashleigh, from Australia, took apart the lunchbox to show just how much mould was hiding in there.
“When we first got it I read the instructions and clean it perfectly every time.
“I’ve just gone to wash it and I pulled out the little silicone bits from in here,” she explained.
“That is the state of it,” the mum said holding up the seal coated in a thick layer of mould.
Ashleigh decided to remove the rest of the seals from the box to see if they were all the same – and to her horror they were.
Pulling another one after the other out, the mum was stunned to find them all covered in the grim mould.
“I think the water must get trapped in there… gross,” she said.
Ashleigh warned other parents with the same or similar styles of lunchboxes to check them for mould too.
“Clean them STAT,” she said.
“I’m raising awareness to [take the seals off] every damn time you wash the lunchbox.”
Other parents were equally as stunned by the dirt, one said: “Nah!! I’m cleaning my daughter’s after school today.”
“I ran to check mine, I don’t think they’ve ever been taken out in three years,” a second confessed on TikTok
And a third commented: “I never knew the seals came off… checking tomorrow when I’m home.”
Meanwhile, others were more shocked that people didn’t think to remove the seals when washing them.
One said: “I thought this was common knowledge to take the seals off? No? Just me?
