When homeowners begin to notice the mold or mildew growth, most know they can reach for some bleach and thoroughly scrub the nasty microbe’s buildup. Though most know it is a common agent that removes the growth of mold and mildew, bleach is not always the preferred method. Especially those with high sensitivity to it, quite a few people prefer to stay clear from the toxic chemical. To combat the mold and mildew growth on the grout, people can try with several other methods. While professionals have the toughest products and powerful extraction equipment that can get the mold and mildew below the surface of the grout, there are some methods you can try. To help you better combat the mold and mildew growing on the grout in your home without the use of bleach, we at Silver State Floor Restoration would like to list a few of these alternatives today.
Hydrogen Peroxide to Clean Grout
To clean the grout from mold, hydrogen peroxide is a safe option. As there are no harsh effects, a great alternative to bleach is the hydrogen peroxide. Since it can potentially cause the grout to lighten, so use with caution, under the right circumstances, however. S on the grout’s surface and let the bubbles sizzle for about 10 minutes once in a spray bottle for easy application. Scrub and rinse clean.
Vinegar Homemade Tile Grout Cleaner
Especially when it comes to defeating mold and mildew, vinegar is a natural cleaning agent that is highly effective, efficient and versatile. Being that it can help prevent mildew and mold from developing, vinegar is naturally acidic and is recommended as a preventative aid as well. Spray it on the surface and let it soak in for about 10 minutes after combining equal parts of distilled white vinegar and water in a spray bottle.
Cleaning Mold with Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil is a very natural option for removing mold and mildew from grout. How much water you need to clean the molded area dictates the amount of tea tree oil. Mix one teaspoon of tea tree oil in a spray bottle for every cup of water, and simply administering of the solution. Use a damp cloth to wipe away the residues after the application and waiting about 15 minutes.
Grapefruit Seed Extract to Clean Mold on Grout
Being highly effective for cutting through mold, an expensive option is grapefruit seed extract. As it naturally kills fungus, this odorless substance is well worth the expense to some. Most health food stores keep this in stock. For every cup of water in a squirt bottle, add 10 drops of grapefruit seed extract. Completely wipe it clean with a damp cloth after you let it soak in for 15 minutes or so. Where others are gentle and naturally, there are other options that can be equally as harsh as bleach.
