Mold can be killed permanently by reducing the build-up of moisture in your home, which can only be achieved through better ventilation. However, there are some products that can be used to kill mold, including:

• Vinegar: Vinegar is a natural and safe mild acid that can kill 82% of mold species. Plus, it doesnt give off dangerous fumes like bleach. To use vinegar to prevent mold growth on surfaces, pour vinegar into a spray bottle without watering it down, spray the vinegar onto the moldy surface, and let it sit for an hour. Repeat every few days to keep the surface mold-free.

• Bleach: Bleach kills virtually every species of indoor mold that it comes into contact with, including mold spores, which leaves a sanitized surface making it resistant to future mold growth. However, bleach is only effective if the mold is growing on non-porous materials such as tiles, bathrubs, glass, and countertops.

• Tea tree oil: Tea tree oil is the most effective natural solution to killing mold. While it is a more expensive option, a small amount of tea tree oil goes a long way in removing mold. It is an antifungal that is capable of killing all types of molds.

Its important to note that while these products can be effective in killing mold, they are only efficient when you recognize the first signs of mold growth and manage to prevent its development. In addition to eliminating the mold you see, you must also eliminate the source of the moisture that allowed its appearance in the first place.
