Washing machine odor can leave your clean clothes smelling stale. Watch this video for some mold cleaning tips to keep your laundry and washer smelling fresh.
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.
The best way to get rid of mold smell in a car is to lighten the moldy spot with a degreaser cleaner. In case you do not have any degreaser cleaner at hand, try vinegar for mold removal as an alternative. Dilute the white vinegar in the ratio of 1:1, or use it undiluted to treat stubborn mold stains.
Use a sturdy brush to brush off the moldy spots in circular motion, when the molds are loosen up, wipe off with a damp cloth. Replace the cloth once it is soiled with molds, you do not want the molds that soil the cloth to contaminate other areas in your car.
After this is done, use an enzyme-based cleaner to remove the moldy odor. Follow the same procedure above, brush in circular motion and wipe off using the clean part of the damp cloth. You can see that molds and mildews are actually lifted onto the cloth.
Let the windows of your car down a little bit to allow the treated areas to dry completely.
After it is dried, vacuum it over a couple more times to make sure mold spores are removed completely.
