GETTING RID OF BATHROOM MOLD
This is a common problem in bathrooms that don't have a bathroom exhaust fan. To clean up the mold, Mix Up a Mold-Prohibiting Spray To doubly protect your bathroom, keep a spray bottle nearby and quickly mist the tiles and caulking after your shower with these natural anti-mold solution that takes no effort to make. These solutions contains mold-prohibiting ingredients that when sprayed, protect your bathroom from becoming a breeding ground. You need white vinegar or tea tree oil, water and a spray bottle.Vinegar solution: Mix equal parts of vinegar and water in a clean spray bottle. Tea tree oil solution: Mix 10 drops of tea tree oil into a clean spray bottle filled with waterPlace the spray bottle on the 'mist' setting. It takes about four seconds to spray the tiles and then you walk away. Now you are protected from mold. These ingredients are cheap, easy to find and are highly effective. I particularly love the tea tree oil solution, as I find the scent soothing and spa-like! Remember that moisture causes fungi to grow, why not begin with the simplest solution? Because humidity is often the reason fungi start to grow, simply open a window after a shower to dry out the moisture in the air! If you have a bathroom exhaust fan keep it running for at least 20 minutes after a shower to remove any humidity from the air.
