- Tea tree essential oil
This essential oil is effective in combating mold thanks to its antifungal properties. To do this, mix 100 ml of white vinegar with 12 drops of tea tree essential oil in a spray bottle. Spray the solution on the walls, let it sit for an hour, and wipe it off with a dry cloth. If the stains are persistent, renew the operation by adding a few drops of lemon juice to your bottle, which is also a natural fungicide.
