Wear rubber gloves. This is not to be used carelesly, and it's not very envrionmentally friendly* but it'll get rid of the mould once and then you can put it away, and keep the mould away with the vinegar spray. rusty * TSP flushed into a slow water ecosystem like a lake or pond will provide phosphate nutrients for algea and lead to eutrification of the pond eco system. But into a sewer system that is treated or spills into the ocean or fast flowing water, it's negligible. rty - " vdube62 " <vdube62 <rawfood > Monday, June 07, 2004 2:18 PM [Raw Food] TSP for bathroom cleaner > Hi, > What is TSP?

I have no experience with using oils on mold, but I looked in my Essential Oils Reference book and under " Mold, " it says, " Single Oils: Cedarwood, Lemongrass, Lemon, Thyme, and Oregano. Blends: Purification and Thieves. " I second this!!! I have used the Blend called Thieves by Young Living on some mold I had in my kitchen and it never came back. I've also heard diffusing Purification will kill it in a heartbeat. I use the oils for everything! They are wonderful! Sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 > Thieves. " > > I believe Purification would work. - Good stuff Linda, but the above are pretty expensive blends fromYoung Living. You don't need a blend to get to the mould. I'd use Oil of Oregano and/or Tea Tree Oil. - > I used bleach on it. It worked for a while, but it always came back. Bleach is alkaline. Use an acid to keep mould away. Vinegar is cheap and simple. rusty - " Linda Hatton " <lghatton <rawfood > Monday, June 07, 2004 9:47 PM Re: [Raw Food] TSP for bathroom cleaner > This sounds yucky!!

There is no recipe! I would try to keep it as full strength as possible. I can look for testimonials and see what others have done. Do you have a ton of mold? or just a bit? I might dilute it 50/50 and put it into a small bowl and with gloves on, sponge the mixture on to the bedroom windows. When I have a moment I can see what other suggestions I can find!
