  • Mold and mildew are commonly found in the average
    home, and their presence is no real reflection on
    how clean you keep your home. Mold and mildew can
    appear overnight and quickly spread, and in some
    cases, it multiplies in areas that you cant see.
    So, while you mustnt feel guilty when you find
    moldor mildew in your home, you should still try
    to eliminate it wherever possible, and often,
    common household products that you are likely to
    already own, can be used to prevent and/or
    destroy it. Below are a few tips and pointers on
    how best to cope with mold and mildew in the home

  • Its important to understand that mold and mildew
    is essentially caused by moisture. Its one thing
    to clean the mold, but if you have issues with
    dampness, then it will simply keep coming back.
    Try to clean and thoroughly dry water logged or
    water damaged areas of your home as quickly as
    possible, to prevent mold or mildew from growing
    there. Bathrooms are commonly damp rooms of the
    home, so wiping away excess water from sinks and
    airing the room as often as possible, will help
    deter mold and mildew.

  • Clean mold and mildew by mixing bleach with warm
    water. Mixing a cup of bleach in a gallon of
    water will give you an excellent solution for
    destroying the mold bacteria, and provided you
    dry the area thoroughly, it should act as a
    deterrent too. Bleach is highly effective at
    killing mold and its spores, and sodium
    hypochlorite (the active ingredient in bleach) is
    often the main ingredient in many cleaning
    products. You could also pour the solution into a
    spray bottle and squirt it in those harder to
    reach areas.

5
  • Vinegar is also great for cleaning and destroying
    mold. Pour an undiluted amount of white or cider
    vinegar into a spray bottle and spray away! Wash
    the area with a damp cloth afterwards and dry the
    surface thoroughly. Vinegar is a cheap
    alternative to expensive cleaning products, and
    as its a natural solution, there are no toxic
    fumes released when you use it to clean in your
    home. But do be warned, vinegar should only be
    used on non-porous surfaces, such as tiles, and
    not on wood.

6
  • Baking soda is another great alternative to harsh
    chemicals and can be used to rid your home of
    mold. Baking soda is mild and safe to use
    throughout your home, and will help deodorise as
    well as clean. Try mixing two tablespoons of
    baking soda with eight ounces of water and mix it
    up well, then pour the solution into a spray
    bottle and use it on any surfaces where mold is
    present. If you then take a bottle filled with
    vinegar and spray it over the same surface,
    youll create a mold busting chemical reaction.
    You can also apply baking soda straight onto
    moldy surfaces in neat form

  • it works especially well on wooden surfaces or
    drywalls. Leave the baking soda to really
    penetrate the damp surface, and then wipe it away
    thoroughly.
