Remove Mold the Green Way
Remove Mold the Green Way
Spring and summer are ideal for cleaning your home. To ensure that the inside of
your home is sanitary and in good overall condition, removing any mold should be
one of your top priorities. Sure, when you use products laced with toxic
chemicals you are able to get the job done quickly and with little effort. What
about the awful smells? Pregnant women are even told not to clean with certain
harsh smelling chemical products. The smell of bleach alone can cause you to
have a major headache. If you are experiencing mold in your home, you may want
to read over this article and weigh the benefits of cleaning the green way.
Eliminating mold the environmentally safe way not only is beneficial to the
earth but is advantageous for you as well. No harmful gases are released into
the air we breathe and the delicate atmosphere surrounding us. When you are
cleaning you won’t have to worry about your children inhaling poisonous gases
into their little developing lungs.
The green way of treating and eliminating mold in your home is just as effective
as toxic chemical solutions. This article is going to give you three green
alternatives to treat and eradicate mold without the use of chemical products.
The first but most strenuous way to clean mold is to make a solution out of
water and regular detergent. A lot of scrubbing is required and this
backbreaking method is the least effective way to treat mold out of the three
ways that will be described. The area that you clean may appear to be free of
mold but this method will not totally get rid of all the spores.
If you don’t feel like creating your own green mixture to get rid of the mold in
your home, opt for a green product available in many stores. Companies are now
developing cleaning products for mold and other bothersome cleaning issues with
natural substances that are safe for you and the environment. Just expect to pay
a little extra for these items. These commercial mold cleaners with added
organic ingredients are more effective than the first method.
The ingredients for the third way and greenest way to clean mold can be found
right in your kitchen. Vinegar, lemon juice, and salt have also been known to be
effective in the treatment of mold.
Try using one or all of the three treatment methods mentioned in this article.
You will breathe easier and also help safeguard the environment.
