Lemon:
This antiseptic, which also acts as a natural deodorizer, bleach, stain remover and cleaner, is an effective way to combat black mold. Its high acid concentration breaks down mold, making it easier to eliminate, disinfecting the surface and leaving a pleasant lemon aroma.
Squeeze three to five lemons into a cup, pour the juice over the moldy surface and leave it for five minutes. Then wipe it off with a damp cloth. If the mold stains are stubborn, rub the surface with the lemons to get rid of them.
However, if the mold remains stubborn and does not disappear despite all the remedies used, it is advisable to hire a home cleaning service that has expertise in mold removal using the latest technology and equipment.
How to prevent mold from returning to your home?
Ventilate infected rooms: This method involves flooding your home with fresh air by opening doors and windows wide until the mold is eliminated.
The experts agreed
that ventilation is the key to preventing mold. The cause of this phenomenon is basically a mixture of too much humidity, cold temperatures and poor air circulation. The different rooms of a house must therefore be properly ventilated and heated, especially bathrooms and kitchens, which produce excessive steam.
