Mould removal, should be an emergency that we handle immediately, and not ignore, otherwise; mould will spread, moreover; effect our health, and destroy wall decoration.
But; first and before doing a mould removal solution, the reason of the problem must be figured out and treated properly, or; the mould will come back, and you will be running in circles.

- The baking soda: has many uses in our houses, including mould removal. Add one-quarter tablespoon to a spray bottle of water, then spray the mould spot, and scrub with a brush till removal, and wash it with water.
- Hydrogen peroxide: is an anti-fungal solution, that treat mould and could work on many surfaces. Pour 3% (to 10%) of Hydrogen peroxide into a spray bottle, spray it on spot, leave it for 10 minutes, then scrub it till removal.
