How to Eliminate Mold

The Maids of Greater Lehigh Valley • September 26, 2014

Mold is a fungus that thrives in damp areas in your home. It commonly occurs in areas like the bathroom, kitchen, and basement. It may also grow in your refrigerators or on leather items. Mold is not only an annoying problem, but it can be harmful to your health. Therefore, it is important to get rid of mold at its early stages. Below are some tips on eliminating mold in your home:

Bleach

Chlorine bleach can help kill toxic black molds. Mix one cup of chlorine bleach and one gallon of water in a spray bottle. Now spray this mixture all over places with mold growth.

Vinegar

If you don’t like harsh chemicals like chlorine bleach, then you can opt for undiluted form of white vinegar to eliminate molds from your bathroom and kitchen.

Rubbing Alcohol

Alcohol is as a great remedy for removing molds. Soak a soft cotton ball in alcohol and then rub it over the affected surfaces. It is commonly used to eliminate molds on leather items that may be damaged by harsh chemicals.

The key to preventing and eliminating mold is to keep your house moisture free. And if you would like to hire a professional maid service to help you with your cleaning duties, The Maids of Greater Lehigh Valley, in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania would be happy to assist you!

The team leader was very nice! She contacted us to check if it was ok to stay longer than we wanted to go over things, which I appreciated because in past experiences with other companies they did not ask they just did. The house was super clean when we got home and we were very pleased! We will definitely use them again!

The ladies did a wonderful job! The apartment was spotless and everything shined. They were all warm and courteous. Would definitely use them again for a large clean-up job!

Linda Y. of Bethlehem, PA

Geri K. of Bethlehem

I have found it very difficult to find a cleaning service in that area that truly deep clean. I hired The Maids for a one time cleaning since I cannot physically do it, and it was worth every penny! So happy I was able to convince my husband to The Maids back every 2 weeks to keep up with everything!
