Scrubbing brush<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nMethod:<\/h2>\n
Step 1: Make a solution of one part bleach to three parts water in the spray bottle.<\/p>\n
Step 2: Saturate the mold and surrounding area on the wall.<\/p>\n
Step 3: Let the solution soak into the mold for 10-15 minutes.<\/p>\n
Step 4: Using the scrubbing brush, remove the mold and stains.<\/p>\n
Step 5: Repeat as necessary to remove all the traces of mold and mildew.<\/p>\n
Step 6: Make a 50\/50 mixture of white vinegar and hydrogen peroxide in the second spray bottle.<\/p>\n
Step 7: Spray the cleaned surface and allow it to absorb and air dry.<\/p>\n
This method works because it addresses the visible mold, as well as the underlying roots that often go untreated. Surprisingly, vinegar and hydrogen peroxide are both more effective at killing mold roots than bleach. Because they work best on different types of mold, try to use them together to cover all the possible varieties of mold you might be dealing with.<\/p>\n
Pro Tip:<\/strong> If you don\u2019t have hydrogen peroxide at hand, you can also clean mold with vinegar and baking soda instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Many people first notice they\u2019ve got a mold problem when they see it growing on their walls.
