Boric acid . Also known as borax, it is a powder that eliminates bad odors and has a powerful antifungal action. The proper proportion to eliminate mold is one glass of borax per liter of water. Apply directly to the mold and let it act for a few minutes. Remember to wear gloves and a mask and keep the windows open while using borax.
Tea Tree Oil . It has very powerful antifungal and antibacterial properties. Pour a tablespoon of this oil into a glass of water and apply it directly to the surfaces using a cloth or sponge. This method is especially effective against mold that builds up between bathroom tiles. Rinsing is not necessary.
Hydrogen peroxide . Its power is not limited to eliminating bacteria, but it is capable of eliminating mold without generating toxic gases. Just spray a little hydrogen peroxide directly on the mold and scrub with a toothbrush about 15 minutes later.
Salt . Although it cannot eliminate mold that has already formed in the bathroom, it is excellent for preventing it. Table salt is a natural dehumidifier. Place a glass of coarse salt in a corner of the bathroom to absorb excess moisture.
Citrus seed extract . An effective remedy that, in addition to eliminating mold, perfumes the environment. Mix 20 drops of extract and half a liter of water, then spray directly on the mold stains and let it act, without rinsing.
Orange and rosemary . This remedy is effective on mold stains that are not too large or deep. Prepare an infusion with a liter of water and three sprigs of rosemary. Let it cool and add five drops of tea tree essential oil and the juice of an orange. Apply directly to the mold stains, avoiding the walls. Let it act, then rinse.
