No homeowner wants to find mold in their home. The truth is under the right conditions, mold could be growing in your home and you don’t even know it. Let’s take a look at non-toxic ways to clean mold in your home.
According to an article at 1stclasscleaningnyc.com, “Getting Rid of the Mold”
“1. Hydrogen Peroxide
Anti-fungal. Anti-viral. Anti-bacterial. Anti-all-the-right-things, hydrogen peroxide will effectively eliminate mold on a variety of surfaces including kitchen appliances, bathroom fixtures, floors and walls.
To kill mold, grab 3% concentration hydrogen peroxide and pour some into a spray bottle. Completely saturate the moldy surface and let it sit for at least 10 minutes. When you’re done waiting, scrub the entire area to remove the mold and the mold stains. Wipe down the surface to remove any residual mold or spores.
If it will make you feel better, spray the surface a second time and follow the same process to really show that mold whose boss.
2. Vinegar
Vinegar is actually a mild acid — hence why it gives some people acid reflux after they eat dishes containing it — that can kill around 82% of mold species. Depending on the type of mold, baking soda can often be used in conjunction with vinegar for a powerful mold eliminator
Pour distilled white vinegar into a spray bottle. Do not dilute it with water. Spray down the moldy surface with your full-strength vinegar and let it sit for at least an hour. Scrub if you need to and then wipe the area down with clean water. Allow the surface to dry.
The vinegar smell will dissipate within a few hours, but if you want to hurry things along, open the windows and set a fan out to help the air circulate.” To read the entire article click here.
