Ordinary household molds are one of the most common causes of
allergic reactions in the home, especially in humid climates and
seasons. Even if you don’t have an allergy, mold can irritate your
respiratory system.
Break out the tea tree oil and vinegar. Mold is easily dispatched.

Tea Tree Oil Spray
2 teaspoons tea tree oil
2 cups water
Combine ingredients in a spray bottle, shake to blend, and spray on
problem areas. Let dry, then wipe down the area. For carpets, add
tea tree oil to the water in a steam cleaner (2 teaspoons per half
gallon of water) or spot clean with the tea tree oil spray.
Grapefruit Seed Extract Spray
(Not as powerful as the tea tree oil spray, but it has the advantage
of being odorless).
20 drops grapefruit seed extract
2 cups water
Combine ingredients in a spray bottle, shake to blend, and spray on
problem areas. Let dry, then wipe down the area.
Peroxide Tile Whitener and Spray
1/2 cup 3 percent peroxide solution
1 cup of water
combine ingredients in a spray bottle, and spray on problem areas.
Let dry, then wipe down. Discard after use. Hydrogen peroxide
loses its potentcy when exposed to air.
