Mold is a common problem in many homes and can pose a serious health hazard if left untreated. Unfortunately, many people are lazy when it comes to cleaning, which can lead to mold buildup in your home. If you’re one of those people, don’t worry: here are some tried-and-true grandma tips for getting rid of mold, even if you’re a lazy cleaner.
Use vinegar
Vinegar is a natural and inexpensive way to kill mold. Mix one part white vinegar with one part water in a spray bottle and spray it on the affected area. Let it sit for a few hours and then wipe it off with a damp cloth. If the smell is too strong, you can add a few drops of essential oil to the mixture.
Use baking soda
Baking soda is another natural remedy for mold. Mix a quarter tablespoon of baking soda with water to form a paste. Apply the paste to the affected area and let it dry. Once dry, scrub it with a brush or sponge.
Use tea tree oil
Tea tree oil is a powerful antifungal agent and can be used to kill mold. Mix a teaspoon of tea tree oil with a cup of water in a spray bottle and spray it on the affected area. Let it sit for a few hours and then wipe it off with a damp cloth.
