1. Hydrogen peroxide

It is necessary to use the 3% hydrogen peroxide and spray on the area with fungi and mold and leave it to act for 10 minutes. You will then need to wipe with a damp cloth to remove any remaining mold spores. Another option is to combine baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and white vinegar and apply it in the same way. You can keep the bottle in a dark place because light can affect the quality of the hydrogen peroxide.

2. Use apple cider vinegar

This method is very simple, you will have to pour the vinegar in a bottle and spray directly on the wall. To spray larger mold stained areas you can dilute the vinegar with water to reduce the strong odor, but the first option is best.

You must leave it for a few hours and then rub the area with a brush. If you don’t like the vinegar smell, you can add a few drops of essential oil. According to studies, white vinegar kills 82% of mold spores, including viruses and bacteria. You can prevent mold by spraying it on surfaces and simply letting it dry.

3. The Tea Tree Oil Solution

There are many useful remedies for mold removal that don’t end up being harmful to the environment, but there are also some that cost more than others. For example, tea tree oil is more expensive, but with just two teaspoons combined with two cups of water, you can have a blend that will last longer. Just spray the mixture on the area and don’t wash it. Tea tree oil has a strong smell that will disappear after a few days but you will have managed to leave the wall free of mold.

4. Citrus seed extract and water

Citrus seed extract does not have a strong odor. To get an effective solution mix about 20 drops of extract and two cups of water. Next, you must add the mixture in a spray bottle and spray the wall and leave it to act without rinsing it.

5. Sodium bicarbonate
