Say So Long Mold and Mildew!

Although Seattle was bright and sunny this morning, we all know what a problem mold and mildew can be during those grey, wet months (seriously, months people)  If you're like me you probably don't enjoy the idea of spraying harsh chemicals around your house to get rid of the pesky stuff so here is a safe and non-hazardous alternative (and oh so simple!)

Supply list:

distilled vinegar
spray bottle
*tea trea oil
* water

Pour distilled vinegar into the spray bottle and spray on affected area.  The vinegar smell will dissipate after a few hours and should leave the area free of mold/mildew. 

*For more persistent problems, combine 2 drops of tea trea oil to 1 cup of water in your spray bottle and spray on the area.  Tea trea oil is a natural antiseptic and fungicide and will kill most types of mold as well as help prevent new growth.

 So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, GOOD BYE mold!
