Great Green Tip on Getting Rid of Mould Small areas of mould can be cleaned using a damp wipe with detergent solution. Many of the experts say that a vinegar solution or alcohol solution (one part vinegar or alcohol to three parts water). As we all know commercially available mould treatments can bleach the mould white, but may not remove the mould, but you should proceed with caution because some commercially sold products can be dangerous when used. You should not just simply use a dry brush on the mouldy area as the brush may spread the mould as it could create more spores in the air. Any other great tips!! |

I have heard that clove oil in a bucket of water is good for getting rid of the mould & killing the spores. You can get clove oil from a chemist. Apparently also tieing together 6 or so sticks of chalk & hanging in a robe will absorb the moisture better than commercial products. I sent a handyman to wipe over bricks in a unit that had mould with clove oil as nothing else was working, I have not found out yet how that went. |

Clove oil works good and is a great tip from Sharon Lush. If the mould is on a ceiling she suggests getting a clean broom and placing a stocking over the head. Spray the clove oil solution onto the stocking and broom head and away you go. This does work as I have tried in a mouldy bathroom :o)
