Mold can appear anywhere. It doesn't need much, and in a warm room with constant humidity it won't take long to appear.
Often, black plaque appears on window frames or slopes due to condensation accumulating on the window sill. In any case, mold poses a health hazard.
Let's try to figure out how to remove mold in an apartment without using chemicals.
These tips may be useful if you are unable to use professional formulations due to allergies or other illnesses.
How to fight mold
First, you need to eliminate the cause of its appearance, otherwise all efforts will be in vain.
Secondly, you need to periodically ventilate the apartment and control the air humidity.
Thirdly, you shouldn’t rely only on folk remedies – each case is individual.
Folk remedies
But if your health does not allow you to use household chemicals, table vinegar can replace them.
The concentrated solution in this case acts as a disinfectant.
To prepare the solution, mix water with vinegar in a 1:1 ratio.
It is more convenient to apply to the affected surface using a spray bottle and then wipe with a napkin or brush.
However, it is not recommended to clean natural stone and wooden surfaces with vinegar.
Another, even more pleasant way to remove mold is to use tea tree oil.
The oil has antifungal properties and smells better than vinegar.
For a single treatment, take 5-7 drops of oil per tablespoon of water.
For larger lesions, take one teaspoon of oil for every 200 ml of water.
The surface is treated after removing the mold.
