Step 1: Start by removing visible mold. Use a dry toothbrush to scrub off the mold spots gently. Then, take a soft cloth soaked in alcohol and wipe the wall to dry it out and prevent further mold growth.

Step 2: Mix bleach and water in a 1:99 ratio. Pour the solution into a spray bottle and spray it on the moldy areas. This helps eliminate mold effectively. During humid weather, you can use a stronger mixture of bleach and water in a 1:20 ratio for better results.
