How to Remove Mold from Your Home with Hydrogen Peroxide<\/p>\n
Why It Matters
\nMold often hides until it causes health issues like allergies or respiratory problems. It can also damage your home\u2019s structure, so early removal is key.<\/p>\n
Why Hydrogen Peroxide?
\nUnlike bleach, hydrogen peroxide penetrates porous surfaces like wood or drywall, <\/p>\n
killing mold at the root without leaving toxic residue. A 3% solution, available at most stores, works best.<\/p>\n
What You Need<\/p>\n
3% hydrogen peroxide in a spray bottle<\/p>\n
Gloves, mask, goggles<\/p>\n
Scrub brush, cloths, sponges<\/p>\n
Plastic sheets to cover nearby surfaces<\/p>\n
Steps<\/p>\n
Prepare the Area: Remove items, seal them in bags if needed, and ventilate the space.<\/p>\n
Apply Solution: Spray hydrogen peroxide directly onto mold. Let sit at least 10 minutes.<\/p>\n
Scrub and Wipe: Use a brush, then wipe clean. Repeat for stubborn spots.<\/p>\n
Dry Completely: Use cloths, fans, or dehumidifiers. Moisture invites mold back.<\/p>\n
Prevention
\nFix leaks, improve ventilation, and keep humidity below 60%. Regularly check damp spaces and consider mold-resistant paint.<\/p>\n
Safety & Mistakes to Avoid
\nAlways wear protection. Don\u2019t mix peroxide with bleach or vinegar. Let it sit long enough, and always address the source of moisture to prevent regrowth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
