This antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal solution, which can be found in most first aid kits, will help get rid of mold effectively. In fact, hydrogen peroxide can be safely applied to a variety of surfaces, including kitchen counters, bathrooms, and toilets.

2. Lemon juice to fight mold.

Squeeze the juice of 3-5 lemons into a cup and spray it directly onto the moldy area. Leave on for 5 minutes, then wipe the surface with a damp towel. If the mold persists, you can apply the product a second time, then scrub with a toothbrush. When the stains disappear, just rinse thoroughly with clean water.

Lemon is an excellent natural disinfectant. The high concentration of citric acid helps to remove mold, making it easier to destroy.
