    23 Products To Help Solve Common British Problems

    Let's face it, we've all got a mouldy wall somewhere.

    1. It's now mandatory to wear a face covering in more places than ever in the UK, so it makes sense to snap up this anti-misting spray if you wear glasses.

    2. And if you're finding that wearing a mask is causing lil' breakouts, these hydrocolloid patches will conceal and heal zits at the same time.

    3. This levomenthol-infused 4head stick claims to relieve the symptoms of a headache in under two minutes. It's perfect if that one loud pigeon that lives near every British home has been getting on your nerves!

    4. If you're living in the UK, chances are you're in a hard water area (and that means you'll have to deal with lots of limescale). This genius spray gets rid of buildup in just five minutes!

    5. If rain has been wreaking havoc on your suede and nubuck items, it might be time to invest in this pair of specially-designed cleaning brushes.

    6. These reusable descaler bags will get rid of those scummy bits of limescale that can sit on top of your favourite drink (because nothing will break a British person's heart like a ruined cuppa).

    7. It can be hard to air-dry clothes in the UK, and tumble dryers often create those annoying bobbles on your clothes. You'll have the best of both worlds with these easy-to-use fabric combs!

    8. This biscuit-shaped bookmark is magnetic, so it won't slip when you move your book around.

    9. We've all been seduced by those incredible fruit and veg supermarket deals, only to face a rotting pile of unused produce days later. These ethylene-absorbing discs will keep them fresher for longer!

    10. If limescale and other mineral residue is slowing down your drains, this powerful drain unblocker can at least ensure your water has a clear path to flow through. It'll even get rid of hair blockages!

    11. You'll be able to click "zero bags" at the self-checkout till with this reusable shopping bag (the best feeling).

    12. You can present your travel card without having to fumble for your wallet at the turnstile (an absolute crime, TBH) thanks to this handy wallet.

    13. This mug-cleaning powder will get right into any built-up stains in your fave cup (we've all got one)

    14. The UK is a pretty soggy place, and mould really thrives in colder, wetter conditions. This highly-rated mould remover spray has got your back!

    15. This biscuit bar mega pack will solve the most British problem of all – simply never having enough Kit Kats.

    16. If you've lost the original plug for your bath or sink, this universal drain stopper is ideal.

    17. These personalised wheelie bin stickers are an ideal way to make sure your bins get put back exactly where they should be after collection days.

    18. This screen-cleaning cloth looks like a mini Henry the Hoover, because of course it does.

    19. If baking is one of your favourite hobbies, it might be time to invest in this reusable sheet.

    20. These clip-on sheet fasteners will keep your bedding in place even if you toss and turn around a lot at night (probably having a nightmare about failing a challenge on Raven).

    21. This screw-on ionised shower head will soften the water in your shower.

    22. Pollution can seriously mess with your skin, so if you live in a city it might be worth giving this AHA serum from The Ordinary a go.

    23. Limescale can build up in the drum of your washing machine, leaving behind a chalky residue and (sometimes) a foul smell. So it's a good thing this specially-designed cleaner from Dettol cleans and deodorises!
