To remove tough black mold, combine two parts baking soda with one part water and one part white vinegar. Mix well until a thick paste is formed. Apply a lot of paste on the area that is affected and allow it to dry. Next, clean the mold and stains by scrubbing them, and then rinse with water.

Oil from the tea tree plant:

Essential oils have many uses beyond aromatherapy. Tea tree oil is a natural product that can clean, freshen, and keep bugs away. This organic fungicide can be used to fight black mold.

Combine a small spoonful of tea tree oil with a full cup of water in a spray bottle. Shake well to mix the water and oil together. Next, apply the spray to the surface with mold, allow it to dry for an hour, and then clean it with a microfiber cloth or a dry towel. Remember to use gloves when handling essential oils, as they can cause skin irritation in some people.

Lemon:

This cleaning product can help get rid of black mold because it works as an antiseptic, deodorizer, bleach, stain remover, and cleaner. The strong acid in it breaks down mold, making it easier to remove. It disinfects the surface and leaves a nice lemon smell.

Squeeze the juice of three to five lemons into a cup. Pour the juice over the moldy area and let it sit for five minutes. Next, clean it with a wet cloth. If the mold stains are hard to remove, rub the surface with lemons to eliminate them.

If the mold is difficult to remove and doesn’t go away after trying different solutions, it’s a good idea to hire a professional cleaning service that specializes in removing mold using the most up-to-date technology and tools.

How can you stop mold from coming back to your house?

Air out rooms with infections. This method consists of letting a lot of fresh air into your home by opening doors and windows until the mold is gone.

The specialists agreed.

Having good airflow is essential to avoid mold. The reason for this situation is mainly a combination of too much moisture, low temperatures, and not enough air flow. It is important to have good ventilation and heating in all the rooms of a house, especially in bathrooms and kitchens where a lot of steam is produced.
