🦠 Why Mold Loves Your Bathroom
Bathrooms are mold's favorite playground—warm, damp, and often poorly ventilated. Mold not only looks unsightly but can also pose health risks. The good news? You don't need harsh chemicals to evict this unwelcome guest.
🌿 Natural Mold-Busting Solutions
1. White Vinegar
White vinegar is mildly acidic and can kill up to 82% of mold species. Pour undiluted vinegar into a spray bottle, apply to the affected area, let it sit for an hour, then scrub and rinse.
2. Baking Soda
Baking soda not only kills mold but also absorbs moisture, preventing future growth. Mix 1/4 tablespoon of baking soda with water in a spray bottle, shake well, spray on the moldy area, scrub, rinse, and spray again to prevent recurrence.
3. Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil is a natural antifungal and antibacterial agent. Mix 2 teaspoons of tea tree oil with 2 cups of water, spray on the moldy area, let it sit for an hour, then wipe clean.
4. Hydrogen Peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful mold killer. Pour 3% concentration into a spray bottle, apply to the moldy area, let it sit for 10 minutes, scrub, and wipe clean.
5. Cinnamon
Cinnamon has natural antifungal properties. Boil cinnamon sticks in water, let it cool, pour into a spray bottle, apply to moldy areas, let it sit for an hour, then wipe clean.
