One of the natural ingredients that I found to be effective at killing mold: Tea Tree Oil. Tea tree oil is a type of essential oil that can be found in most health food stores. It is produced from Melaleuca tree, a tree that has needle-like leaves.

While tea tree oil is expensive, its broad-spectrum fungicide power seems to be able to kill almost all mold species. Tea tree oil is definitely a better alternative to bleach as it is natural and it does not produce harmful fumes that hurt the environment or the surrounding living beings.

Hydrogen Peroxide for Mold Removal

Posted in Hydrogen Peroxide Mold Killer, Mold Removal Products on September 24th, 2009 by – 4 Comments

One of the inexpensive solutions for effective mold removal is by using hydrogen peroxide with at least 3% concentration. Hydrogen peroxide is a very good cleaning agent. It does not only clean, but disinfect at the same time. Hydrogen peroxide kills most of the bacterias and germs, including the deadliest mold spores.

Hydrogen peroxide, H2O2 breaks down to water and oxygen, thus creating no residual toxins of any kind when used to clean or kill mold. You can hardly see any evidence of its use in the surrounding environment after a few hours of the application.

I usually get my bottle of hydrogen peroxide from a regular drug store. They commonly come in 3% concentration, which is pretty good for the mold cleaning job. It is very affordable; a bottle of hydrogen peroxide only costs me less than a dollar.
