Seal Cracks and Insulate: Addressing cracks and insulating your home can prevent mold, especially in winter.

How to Eliminate Mold

Commercial products might be expensive and ineffective. Instead, try these simple, efficient home remedies.

Borax and Vinegar: A Winning Combo

Combine in a spray bottle:

  • 2 tablespoons of Borax
  • ¼ cup of white vinegar
  • 2 cups of hot water

Apply this mixture to mold-prone areas, let it sit for an hour, then scrub with a sponge. Rinse and dry with a clean cloth.

Baking Soda and Soap: Goodbye Mold

Create a baking soda paste with water and apply it to mold spots. Leave it for an hour, then scrub with a stiff brush. Follow with a soap solution to complete the cleaning. Rinse with vinegar water to eliminate mold and black spots permanently. Wipe with a clean, dry cloth and let the area air dry. Ingredients like ethyl alcohol or ammonia can also be effective against mold.

Safety First: Wear gloves and a mask to protect yourself from harmful spores during this sensitive cleaning process.
