1. For a recent musty stain

Whether on a wall, in a kitchen or on fabric, traces of mold must be eliminated immediately.

So in the event of the appearance of recent stains that are not very encrusted, act immediately without delay. Nothing could be simpler.

Sprinkle baking soda over the entire area to be treated and add a little fine salt for even more efficiency.

Leave on for a few moments then clean the area using a soft brush utensil like an old toothbrush.

Once done, you just have to rinse with a sponge soaked in white vinegar diluted with water 50/50.

For clothes, finish the operation with a hand or machine wash.

For sensitive and synthetic fabrics, put your clothes in lukewarm milk and leave for 1 hour (without rubbing).

With this method, mold stains can disappear without adding anything else! Check out the trick here.

2. For an encrusted musty stain

If the mold stain has been present for quite some time, the treatment with baking soda and white vinegar may not be enough.

Don't panic if this is the case, we have the solution.

Take an old white cloth soaked in hydrogen peroxide and pat the affected area directly with it.

If you use this method on a garment, we advise you to test first on an inconspicuous part of the fabric. That way, no surprises or discoloration.

Then run clean water over the treated areas and put your garment in the washing machine.

By applying this grandmother's trick, mold, even very encrusted, disappears! Discover the trick here.

3. For mold stains on the wall, bathtub and joints

Mold stains develop very strongly as soon as there is a lot of humidity in a room.

The walls and joints in the bathroom are therefore particularly affected by these black spots.

These areas should be maintained frequently so that mold does not grow.

For this, use the mixture of baking soda and white vinegar from the first point as soon as the first appearance of mold!

If the stains are encrusted and old, remains a less natural solution, but essential when the other solutions have not worked.

For this, prepare a solution with a little bleach diluted in water.

Because mold is actually microscopic fungi, bleach will kill it in an instant.

Don't forget to put on gloves to handle the bleach and to ventilate the room afterwards. Check out the trick here.
