DIY Bathroom/shower/tile mildew remover

When mold & mildew occurs, make a spray with 2 cups of water and 10 drops Eucalyptus oil, 5 drops tea-tree and 5 drops lavender oil to a glass spray bottle. Shake first and spray on trouble spots. The oils break down the mildew so there’s no need to wipe it down. (From Green Interior Design, by Lori Dennis)

DIY Mold/Mildew Remover

• 3 drops clove oil
• 5 drops lavender oil
• 5 drops eucalyptus oil
• 2/3 cup (150ml) white spirits
• 3/4 cup (200ml) water

Put all ingredients in a spray bottle and shake well. Spray onto the moldy areas (patch test first to make sure it doesn’t damage the surface) then leave for a few hours. Wipe off with a wet cloth to remove the mold (sometimes it may need a scrub with a brush to get rid of stubborn mold). Then spray a little more on the area and leave it as this will stop mold growing back. This will work on tiles, tile grout, walls and ceilings (just make sure if you spray it on the ceiling it doesn’t fall into your eyes).

You can remove mold from a nylon shower curtain using the same solution — just spray it on, leave overnight, then wash as normal in your washing machine. Hang it out in the sun to dry.
