Killing mold, bacteria, and germs the natural way

Inhaling chlorine or bleach is harmful to the lungs and heart and has been linked to certain cancers also. So why do most people use it to clean around the house in their kitchens, bathrooms and play areas for their children? It is marketed as the main component in almost all bathroom mildew and mold cleaning products. Cleaning away bacteria and mold does not have to be harmful to your body. Vinegar is not just for salads and soups. It kills bacteria, germs, and mold and is natural. Keep a clean spray bottle filled with straight 5 percent vinegar in your kitchen near your cutting board, and in your bathroom, and use them for cleaning. If you have mold problems, the main mold killer is to prevent moisture from becoming the breeding ground for mold. When you clean the surface of an area in your home, if you use baking soda, it will prevent any mold and mildew from growing. This is because the PH factor in the baking soda is not conducive to mold growth and mold, especially black mold will not grow when it is present. Vinegar is another natural mold killer that you can use. Baking soda and vinegar are also less expensive than all the marketed cleaning supplies. Vinegar is a great window cleaner also. The smell of vinegar dissipates within a few hours.

If you have mold allergies there are some natural and less harmful ways to kill mold. Using a hepa filter or an ozone generator are two combined methods that give you optimum mold fighting abilities and keep you from breathing harmful fumes. You can check out your local hardware stores for ozone generators designed specifically for killing mold.
