How to Banish Mold

Ugly and unsanitary--these two words best describe a bad case of mold. Aside from making parts of your home look haunted, mold destroys your home in ways you cannot see. Spores can be inhaled by your family, triggering allergic reactions or worse.

Your family deserves a cleaner and healthier environment. Ridding your home of disgusting mold outbreaks should always be a priority.


Helpful Home Remedies


Don’t wait for the mold to spread further than the area of a small patch. That’s easier to clean and a regular household cleaning routine can cover that. Mold growing on hard-to-clean materials such as carpet, glass, metals and sinks can easily be removed with the proper know-how.

If you already inspected your home, then you’re good to go! Take note of these essential home remedies for mold remediation:

  1. If the mold does not cover a big area, cleaning soap and water can be the simple solution. Scrub the affected area until all the mold is gone.
  2. Tea tree oil does well in treating mold. It might be a bit costly but this is effective in destroying mold because of its antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral and antiseptic properties.
  3. Mix chlorine bleach with 1 gallon of water and put the solution in one spray bottle. Remember not to use it for metal, cloth and wood, as these may be ruined or stained by the solution.
  4. Vinegar, the most famous ingredient for treating stains can also be an option. White vinegar, particularly, can kill almost 82% of mold. Just pour the solution at the affected area and wait for the smell to disappear.
