For persistent mold, consider mixing a combination of tea tree oil and vinegar for added potency.
If you prefer a more fragrant solution, you can add a few drops of essential oils like lavender or eucalyptus to any of the sprays to mask the strong scents of vinegar or hydrogen peroxide.
For more delicate wall surfaces, test the solution on a small area first to ensure it doesn't cause discoloration or damage.
FAQ
