Fragrant essential oils also have mildew-killing properties.
Mildew removal instructions often call for the use of harsh cleaners and chemicals. While these products are effective, they can irritate the skin and pose danger to children and pets. Many home remedies are effective at removing mildew, including one that uses essential oils. Essential oils have benefits that go far beyond their pleasant aromas. Many essential oils have antiseptic and anti-fungal properties that help successfully kill mildew and its accompanying odor.
Instructions
1. Pour 1 cup water into a spray bottle. Add 20 drops of tea tree essential oil. Close the spray bottle and shake the mixture.
2. Spray bathroom surfaces once every couple weeks to keep mildew at bay.
Spray the tea tree oil solution on surfaces with mildew and mold. Let the essential oil spray dry on the surface. The anti-fungal spray kills mold and mildew spores so they can't spread further.
3. Dampen a clean cloth with water. Wipe down your surfaces to remove the dead mildew spores and accompanying stains. Dry the surfaces with a clean, dry cloth.
