Mold on the walls: eliminate mold in your home with inexpensive natural remedies

In addition to the fact that the walls become unsightly, health problems can arise over time for family members, especially if one of them suffers from allergies or asthma. To remedy the situation, you can buy various products in specialized stores. If you don’t want to use commercial anti-mold products, which usually contain chlorine, here are three equivalent alternatives.

Tea tree oil is known for its many health and beauty benefits. This oil is also an excellent antibacterial agent.

Fill the spray bottle three-quarters full with water and add 15 ml of oil for every 250 ml of liquid. If you don’t have such a device for spraying liquids, simply moisten a clean cloth with this oil and rub the walls affected by the fungus.

With grapefruit seed extract
Another antifungal agent with a guaranteed effect is grapefruit seed extract . To prepare the anti-mold agent, it is necessary to fill the spray bottle with water, as in the previous case. For every 250 ml added, add 10 drops of grapefruit seed extract, shake the container and spray the mixture on the areas where the mold has settled. There is no need to wash the solution. Therefore, the effect of the product will last for a long time. If you do not have a spray bottle at hand, simply apply the liquid to a clean cloth.

Using hydrogen peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide can be successfully used to eliminate mold in an apartment. Unlike chlorine, it does not produce toxic fumes and can therefore be used by people with various health problems.

Fill the bottle with hydrogen peroxide at a concentration of 3% and spray on the affected surfaces. Wait 10 minutes, then wipe the wall with a dry, rough cloth to make sure you have removed the mold. Finally, wipe with another cloth slightly dampened with water to remove any residue.

To prevent hydrogen peroxide from losing its properties, keep the bottle away from light, as UV rays change its chemical composition.
