Natural mould treatments.

* If the space smells and feels little damp – you might have mould.

*Mould is SO MUCH easier to prevent than treat so do take extra effort to make sure you don’t get it.

*Reduce the humidity in the room/house down to 45% if possible in the first 48 h after the exposure to the wet. Buy hygrometer (not hydrometer) to measure humidity (bunnings, pet stores etc).

*Remove rugs, pillows, curtains, books and anything you can from the room/space that may grow mould.

*Turn on A/C , heater and fans to reduce humidity. Get the dehumidifyer to get the best results.

*Vacuum the area super slowly with a vacuum with HEPA filter. (This is a specific filter for super allergic people so it collects the small mould particles)

*Spray the surfaces with oregano, eucalyptus and clove oil solution. (I just used 20 drops of each for a liter of water)

*Let it dry a bit and now use a damp cloth dipped in the water and wipe the surfaces. (Use same essential oil mix as above)

*Rinse the cloth under the running water so you don’t contaminate the essential oil solution too much.

*Throw away the cloth.

*Just in case I even put oil in the diffuser and leave it on for 24 hours.
