Why Mold Is a Hidden Threat
Mold is a common household problem that often goes unnoticed until it causes serious issues. This sneaky fungus can trigger allergies, respiratory problems, and even damage your home’s structure. Tackling mold early is essential for both health and property.
Why Choose Hydrogen Peroxide?
Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful, natural solution for mold removal. Unlike bleach, it penetrates porous surfaces like wood, drywall, and tile to kill mold at the root. It also leaves no toxic residue, breaking down into water and oxygen. A 3% concentration, easily found in stores, works perfectly for cleaning mold.
- 3% hydrogen peroxide in a spray bottle
- Protective gloves, mask, and goggles
- Scrub brush
- Clean cloths or sponges
- Plastic sheets or tarps for nearby surfaces
Ensure the area is well-ventilated to avoid inhaling mold spores or fumes.
Prepare the Area
Remove furniture, rugs, and personal items from the affected zone. Seal items in plastic bags if needed. Cover nearby surfaces with plastic sheets to prevent splashes. Open windows or doors, and use a fan to circulate air.
Mix and Apply the Solution
Pour the 3% hydrogen peroxide into a spray bottle—no dilution needed. Shake gently, label the bottle, and spray directly onto moldy areas. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes to penetrate and kill mold spores. Work in sections for larger surfaces, and avoid oversaturating to prevent water damage.
