#3: Soap Water
As soon as you see mold growing in any area or surface, make sure to treat it quickly so that it doesn’t grow any further, use a scrubber or salt paper to remove the mold, then wash the area with soapy water, and repeat this every day to prevent the mold from regrowing. It is recommended to use detergent for a more effective solution.
#4: Chlorine Bleach
This solution is one of the most effective ways to get rid of the mold completely. All you have to do is to sprinkle chlorine bleach on the surface or affected area, then wipe it with a scrubber or sponge, and repeat as needed.
#5: Hydrogen Peroxide
Mix together 1 cup of water and 1 tsp of hydrogen peroxide until combined, then transfer them to a spray bottle, and spray this solution to the affected wall or surface. Allow it to sit for about 10 to 15 minutes, then mix together ½ tsp of baking soda and 1 cup of water until incorporated, and set it aside. Clean the sprayed solution, then spray the baking soda mixture on the wall, and repeat as needed.
