clove oil to kill mould on bath toys...how?

[farmgirl77]

Hello,
I finally found the clove oil, but have lost the recipe for how to use it to kill mould on kids bath toys (and the non-slip bath mat as well)...does anyone know how to use clove oil to kill and prevent mould???

Thanks
FG

hi fg - my mum in FNQ uses it to mop her floors etc however a pharmacist friend of mine told me it's a carcinogen. I don't know anything more than that, but just thought i'd share if you were going to use it on bub's toys... you may want to look into it a bit more if you haven't already.

Vinegar should do the job. I don't know about how to use clove oil though.

there is an aussie website cloveoil etc etc that sells it and also has instructions on how to dilute it and use it...google is your friend!

The clove oil is to stop the mould coming back, I don't think it gets rid of the mould already there???. You have to get rid of the mould first. I brushed the mould spores off the item outside and tried washing it & getting the sun to bleach it out, but it didn't fully work so then I used Milton Solution in tablet form. I made a paste from the Milton tablets with water and put it on the item & left it there for about 1/2 an hour, I then washed it in the machine with powder, hung it out in the sun to dry and & it 'bleached' the mould out.
