Dish soap might not kill mold directly, but it’s excellent for lifting mold off surfaces — especially when used with warm water.
How to Use:
Add a few drops of dish soap (like Dawn) to a bowl of warm water.
Dip a sponge or soft brush into the solution.
Gently scrub the moldy area until mold lifts away.
Wipe dry or allow to air dry completely.
Why It Works:
Helps remove mold without spreading spores
Mild enough for frequent use
Perfect for spot treatments around sinks, tubs, or windowsills
Use this method as part of a regular cleaning routine to keep mold from returning.
