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.
