Mold is scary not only because it spoils the interior, but the black coating on the walls or windows is much more harmful to human health.

At the very beginning, you can still fight mold using folk methods, but not all methods are good.

We will tell you about the best life hacks that can eliminate mold at the initial stage.

1. Vinegar

You can fight mold in the bathroom, on windows and other places where you least want to use chemicals. You can apply from a spray bottle or wipe the surface with a rag soaked in vinegar.

2. Hydrogen peroxide

A 3% solution is used for processing, but housewives often come to the conclusion that a single use of this product is not enough.

3. Soda

Dissolve one tablespoon of soda in a glass of water and use for processing. The option is non-toxic, so it can be used on any surface.

4. Ammonia

You need to prepare an aqueous solution in a 1:1 ratio. But the smell of this product is not the most pleasant.

5. Chlorine bleach

Quite an aggressive product, so it can't be used everywhere. It's better to use gloves and a brush, and after cleaning, be sure to rinse with water.

6. Copper sulfate

This is a leader in the fight against mold in apartments. It is sold in construction and hardware stores. To prepare the solution, use 20 grams of the product per 1 liter of warm water.

Many folk recipes recommend adding one tablespoon of vinegar to copper sulfate.

But, as experience shows, mold can only be dealt with through repeated treatment.
