Today I'm showing you how to get rid of mold naturally with a few effective tips.
Last week I helped my brother move into his new apartment.
After moving a piece of furniture, I made a horrible discovery...
Mildew stains on window sills. Yuck!
Mold is not good for your health.
Believe me, it really is one of those things you have to avoid touching and breathing in!
And no matter how much I rubbed with a cloth, this mold all cracra wouldn't go away...

Easy, convenient and effective, right?
Tea tree essential oil, white vinegar or hydrogen peroxide, and a final pass with baking soda...
After this double attack, I promise you that you are not ready to see mold again!
To prevent mold from reappearing a few weeks later, I advise you to use a dehumidifier.
This device allows you to reduce the humidity in the room in question.
If you don't want to buy one, you can also do it yourself by following this trick.
These tricks work WITHOUT using bleach or a commercial product loaded with toxic substances.
So of course you can also achieve good results with bleach.
But it's a far from natural product that I don't like to use...
Unless it's really the only solution.
Tea tree essential oil: tea tree essential oil kills mold the first time. Thanks to its powerful antifungal and antibacterial properties, it is particularly effective in eliminating mold. The only downside is that it costs more than vinegar or hydrogen peroxide.
White vinegar: white vinegar is as effective as tea tree essential oil, and much cheaper. It is a recognized antibacterial that can also eliminate mold. If you're not a fan of the smell, I recommend adding a few drops of your favorite essential oil. Several studies have shown that pure vinegar with 5% acidity eliminates 82% of mold.
Hyperoxide: antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral, hydrogen peroxide is an excellent solution against mold. Hydrogen peroxide is effective because it releases oxygen, thereby breaking down mold through the process of oxidation.
We see more and more health problems related to mould.
The concern is that many people suffer from the symptoms of mold exposure, but never know it.
Indeed, many doctors are often unaware of the harmful effects mold can have on health.
These symptoms can vary from a simple runny nose to headaches.
But you can also see skin rashes, a state of fatigue, depression and memory disorders.
Some health conditions are much more serious, including respiratory or neurological conditions.
In addition, we know that exposure to mold is also linked to certain forms of cancer.
This is why it is so important to remove all traces of mold from your home as soon as possible.
All you have to do is use one of these 4 100% natural grandmother's tips.
