Tea tree oil is known to be
a great mold killer (and healthier for you and the environment than
some of the harsh chemicals available!) In fact, this post from
this very blog talked all about using tea tree (melaleuca) oil to
battle mold problems:
Tea Tree Oil for Mold
Treatment
But, now we're on to another natural mold killing agent, and that
is
grapefruit seed
extract/oil. This essential oil is extracted from the seeds
of grapefruits, and has many amazing properties, including many
health benefits. But, for our discussion today, we'll focus in on
how to use grapefruit seed extract (often shortened to GSE) to
destroy mold.
Mix 5 - 10 drops to a 16 ounce spray bottle and mix well. Spray
liberally and scrub well on areas of mold.
Finding GSE in Your Local
Area: call around to health food stores, which are the most likely
place you'll find grapefruit seed extract. Natural health
practioners will also be a good source of information on where to
get GSE. Online sources are plentiful - so if you can't find any of
this lovely stuff locally, just order some online.
