The stink of mold in the house can really change the mood of one day. If the idea of returning home and feeling that smell of closed makes you turn up your nose, there is a mix of natural ingredients that is worth trying: it is simple, cheap and works.
It happens more often than you think. You enter the house, perhaps after an intense day, and that smell is there to welcome. A mixture of wet, old and stagnant. The air looks heavy, almost sticky. And no, it is not just a matter of annoyance: it is as if the discomfort slips into the tissues, in the walls, even in thoughts. In these cases, reacting immediately makes the difference. There are no expensive or detergent solutions with a unpronounceable name: sometimes, the answer is hidden precisely in the belief of the kitchen.
Trying something natural, immediate, can become almost a liberating gesture. Other than masking the smell with artificial perfumes: here you want to eliminate the root problem. Because when a room returns to perfume with clean, you breathe better, you sleep better … everything seems lighter.
The natural mix that eliminates the stench of mold in the house
When you hear about REMOVER AGAINST THE MOCKthe thought immediately runs to aggressive bottles, to be used with the open window and the controlled spray. But do you really need? Maybe it’s time to rediscover an old trick that works. The ingredients? Three, very simple: baking soda, white vinegar and a few drops of Tea Tree essential oil. If desired, you can also opt for lavender, if you love something more delicate. The preparation does not require chemical skills. Just mix two tablespoons of baking soda with a glass of white vinegar. The reaction is immediate: a little Frizzicor and away, five or six drops of essential oil are added. When the mixture calms down, everything is poured into a sprayer. From then on, you can use practically everywhere: walls, hidden corners, shower curtains, even rugs.
The strength of this mixture lies in the way in which it acts: bicarbonate absorbs and neutralizes the smells, the vinegar fights the mold, the essential oil completes everything with a fragrant note, never intrusive but reassuring.
Where to use it and how to enhance the effect
One of the most interesting things of this remedy is its versatility. There is no need to relegate it to the bathroom only or the cellar. It can be useful in the kitchen, in the closets, in the laundry and, why not, even inside the most forgotten wardrobes. And it does not ruin the delicate surfaces, which is not a little, on the contrary.
Many underestimate the importance of some simple but constant gesture. It takes little to change the atmosphere of a room. When the environment smells fresh, it also changes the way you live it. There is a sense of lightness, as if the space breathed together with those who live it. The secret? Costanza and some targeted measures.
- Carefully spray the mixture, leaving it to act for a few minutes before drying
- Repeat the treatment every two or three days in the most critical areas
- Arieraging the rooms well: even a few minutes a day they make the difference
- Place bowls of coarse salt or rice in the most humid rooms to absorb excess humidity
- Wash curtains and rugs regularly, because they retain smells more than you think
A little extra? A splash of lemon juice in the mix: gives freshness and a slight disinfectant touch that never hurts.
Mold and smells of closed: because you don’t have to underestimate them
There are those who think that mold is just a discomfort, a aesthetic aesthetic. In reality, it is often the alarm bell of something that is acting under the surface. Humidity is its favorite habitat, and where there is humidity, sooner or later spores and bacteria arrive.
Curious how you get used to certain smells, right? Maybe you don’t notice anymore, but just cross the threshold of another house to notice the difference. What if it was your own to leave that wake of closed?
Better not to wait. First we intervene, the easier it is to solve without complications. And with a remedy that is preparing in less than five minutes, it is really worth trying.
Positive side effect? The feeling of returning to a house that knows clean, without effort, without chemistry, only with the help of ingredients that, perhaps, had always been there.
It is worth trying. And maybe, later, advise it to someone else too.
