Mold not only looks unsightly, but can also be harmful to health. Using harsh chemicals to get rid of mold can be dangerous for you and your family. Follow these simple steps to learn how to kill mold naturally and organically using vinegar.

Steps

1. 1 Put on your protection. Distilled white vinegar is safe, non-toxic and organic, but may irritate the skin with prolonged contact. Wear rubber gloves to protect your hands from vinegar acid and the irritating effects of mold.
2. 2 Vacuum first. Use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter to remove dust and debris beforehand.
3. 3 Wipe off the mold. Wipe off most of the mold with soap (or detergent), water, and a brush. Good friction combined with soapy water is a very effective way to remove mold. It should be noted that vinegar solution can be used instead of soap or detergent, as it is a light surfactant.
4. 4 Destroy the mold.
   • Pour the vinegar solution into a spray bottle and cover the moldy area with it.
   • Rub the vinegar with a stiff brush, then pat dry with a cloth.
   • Wait for the area to dry and repeat if necessary.

Tips

• Make a mark on the spray bottle so you know what the solution is in the future. It is best to make a fresh batch of the solution every time, especially if you are not going to use the product soon.

What do you need
