Swachh Bharat: Cleaning Fungus/Mould in Bathrooms

Thought of giving handy/practical Swachh Bharat tips to all. This one on cleaning fungus/mould in bathrooms

Clove Oil
I was able to pick up a small bottle of water-soluble clove oil recently. It wasn’t the cheapest thing around, but I only needed to use the tiniest amount so it will probably last for a fair while. All I needed to do was spray some of it directly onto the mould, leave it for about 20-30 minutes then wipe off with a damp cloth. Not all the mould came off straight away, so I sprayed a little more on and left it – over the next 24 hours the mould had disappeared! You can make your own oil of cloves solution by mixing half a teaspoon of clove oil in a litre spray bottle of water.

Tea Tree Oil
If you don’t like the smell of clove oil (it is pretty strong!) or if you can’t find it in your local supermarket, then tea tree oil is probably your next best mould killer. All you need to do is put a few drops of tea tree oil into a spray bottle of white vinegar, spray directly onto the mould and leave it for 15 minutes then wipe off.

Bicarbonate of Soda and Vinegar
This method will get rid of mould too, but requires a little more manual labour (i.e. scrubbing really hard!). Just mix 2 parts of bicarb with a one to one solution of white vinegar and water to make a paste and apply to mouldy areas around the bathroom (particularly the grout between the tiles). Use a damp cloth to scrub the area clean. more

Kanchan ji, its very good home made solution for fungus/Mould in Washrooms. Mr. Jaykumar Daniel asked whether it has been tested? I think yup, in your bathroom and results have shared between us. Lab or any research institute need not to certify for our own results so better test at our own place being Natural its safe. more
