Mold is not only an aesthetic problem. It can seriously harm the health of people living in the apartment.

The good news is that you don't have to use chemicals to get rid of mold. You can easily make your own cleaning products using what you have on hand.

Hydrogen peroxide

To achieve the desired result, you will need a 3% solution, which should be filled into a spray bottle and then applied to the walls.

Before use, test on a small area to ensure that the coating will not discolor when exposed to peroxide.

Wait 10-15 minutes, then brush the wall (hard sponge) and wipe it dry.

Essential oils

Essential oils have antiseptic and deodorizing properties.

To prepare the solution, use 200 ml of water and 1 teaspoon of rosemary, lavender or tea tree essential oil.

As in the previous case, spray the mixture on the wall with mold and wait an hour. After 60 minutes, wipe the surface with a dry towel.

Baking soda

To clean mold from walls, you need to mix 1 tablespoon of soda in 500 ml of water.

After mixing and shaking, apply the soda solution to the moldy surface and remove the film with a stiff brush. After that, rinse the wall with water and repeat if necessary.
