How to get rid of mold in the bathroom: natural remedies

Mold most often appears in rooms with high humidity, particularly in bathrooms. One of the main causes of mold is a lack of ventilation combined with excess moisture.

Mold can be removed without the use of aggressive cleaning agents. The details were reported by the Express.

Laura Harnett, founder of Seep, a brand of eco-friendly cleaning tools, explained how to remove mold without bleach or harsh chemicals.

Here's a list of what you'll need:

• Baking soda
• White vinegar
• Hot water
• Old toothbrush
• Eco-friendly cloth
• A reusable spray bottle

"People think that bleach removes mold, but it's a strong chemical that doesn't actually kill the mold spores, so they come back quickly," Laura said.

To clean surfaces from mold, four simple steps are enough.

Step 1: In a container, mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda, 1 tablespoon of white vinegar, and the same amount of hot water.

Step 2: Using an old toothbrush, rub the mixture into the moldy areas in a circular motion. Larger surfaces will require more paste, so the key is to maintain a 1:1:1 ratio.

Step 3: After cleaning, wash the surface with a sponge soaked in running water and dry it with an eco-friendly cloth. Such fabrics absorb much more than paper towels.

Step 4: White vinegar is useful as a preventive measure against mold. Simply spray it in places where there is a risk of mold growth. If the smell of vinegar is too pungent for you, use tea tree oil. 10-20 drops are enough for a glass of water.
