Make an All-Natural Anti-Mildew Spray
What's that unpleasant aroma? Mildew! But instead of rushing off to the big-box store to purchase some dandy commercial cleaner, why not consider a more natural solution-and, almost certainly, one that does the job more effectively anyway? The truth is, most commercial cleaners contain toxic substances that members of a household end up breathing in over time, and even ingesting. The natural solution, on the other hand, is easy and toxin-free-and it works. Here's make an all-natural anti-mildew spray.
Instructions
1. Find and clean out a spray bottle with a screw-on top.
2. Pour 2 teaspoons of tea tree oil into the spray bottle.
3. Add half a teaspoon of liquid detergent to the spray bottle, then swish the mixture around in the bottom of the bottle for 5 seconds.
4. Pour 2 cups of water into the spray bottle, mixing the water with the tea tree oil and the liquid detergent. Shake the bottle well until the ingredients of your all-natural mildew spray are thoroughly mixed.
5. Generously spray the affected (mildew-covered) areas with the contents of the spray bottle. Do not rinse the spray off!
6. Allow the spray to sit undisturbed on the affected areas for at least 4 days. This will give the spray time to fight the mildew thoroughly. The tea tree oil's odor will fade away within that time frame-and the mildew, almost magically, will be gone!
Tips Warnings
Store your anti-mildew spray in its bottle on a shelf out of the reach of children. It can last for years.
Avoid spraying anywhere near your face, especially your eyes.
