    Mould! I just can't win!

    It's on the walls, the roof, the blinds. I just can't win in getting rid of it. I wipe it over with vinegar but I can't bleach it because I the paint. Any other suggestions?? I just can't seem to get rid of it.

    Oil of cloves is really good for mould - not sure of the concentration but if you google oil of calves and mould it'll tell you how much to use.

    It destroys the mould and stops it from regrowing.

    I use about 5 drops to a litre of water for the oil of cloves, definitely dont need much and it works well

    We use this mix:

    1/2 cup borax
    1/2 cup vinegar
    1/2 cup water - warm
    Tsp clove
    Tsp lavender
    Tsp Tea tree


    Spray it on, scrub off. Spray again, clean again but with a new cloth/sponge so as not to transfer back any mould.
    Depending on the colour of the paint, I found a very gentle wipe with gumption paste helped get the last of the look of it.
