cruelty free mildew cleaner that works PLEASE?????

[Guest guest]

Has anyone found a cruelty free bathroom product that " actually " gets rid of

mildew? I have tried Seventh Generation products as well as " The Works " products

(that are supposed to be cruelty free) and they don't work. I would prefer

something from a spray bottle that I can purchase at either a grocery or

healthfood store for convenience but if someone knows of a product that I have

to order by mail, that's ok too. I'm desperate and do not want to have to turn

to the non-cruelty free products. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm tired of spending money just to try products that do not do the job. Thanks

so much.

Here are some links that I found that make sense based on what I've done in

the past:

http://homeparents.about.com/cs/householdtips/tp/cleaners.htm

http://eartheasy.com/live_nontoxic_solutions.htm

 

It's amazing what simple products like vinegar, borax, hydrogen peroxide,

baking soda, and/or salt can do. And it's worth investing in tea tree

oil....it's got so many uses.

 

However, I would suggest that you might want to consider full-strength bleach

as a one-time application to get rid of the problem, followed up by regular

non-toxic cleaning to keep it from coming back in force. Remember, the damage

to your health is important, too. Sometimes you have to weigh the consequences

and come up with the lesser evil.

 

Dry out the area every time you use it, either by wiping down with a towel,

using a squegee (sp?), and/or running a heater in the room. That should go a

long way towards keeping the problem at bay in the future.
