Removing Mold from Grout with Natural Ingredients

To remove mold from your grout, you can use several natural ingredients, including vinegar, baking soda, lemon, and tea tree essential oil. Next, I provide you with a step by step to use each of these ingredients:

Vinegar:

Mix 1 part white vinegar with 1 part water in a spray bottle. Spray this mixture on the moldy grout and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Then, clean the grout with a damp cloth.

Baking Soda:

Mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda with 1 cup of water in a bowl. Apply this mixture to the moldy grout and gently scrub with an old toothbrush. Then rinse with clean water and dry well.

Lemon:

Cut a lemon into slices and rub the slices over the moldy grout. Let rest for about 15 minutes. Then, clean the grout with a damp cloth and dry well.

Tea tree essential oil:

Add a few drops of tea tree essential oil to a spray bottle of water. Spray this mixture on the moldy grout and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Then, clean the grout with a damp cloth.

It is important to mention that safety measures must be followed when handling these ingredients and maintain adequate ventilation.

It is also important to ensure that the humidity is controlled, since the fungus develops in humid environments.
