Clove Oil For Mold Removal

How to Use Clove Oil for Mold Removal

1. Create a Clove Oil and Water Spray
   To make a simple mold-fighting solution, combine 24 drops (1/4tspn) of pure Clove Essential Oil with 1 ltr of water. For best results, avoid making the mixture too concentrated, as this could damage surfaces. Always perform a patch test on a discreet area first. You can use either 100% Pure Clove Bud Oil or Clove Soluble Oil (which mixes well with water). If using Clove Soluble Oil, double the amount to 48 drops per ltr of water.

2. Combine Clove Oil with Vinegar
   Vinegar is another excellent natural cleaner that complements Clove Oil’s powerful antimicrobial effects. To create a potent mold-removal spray, mix:

   • ⅓ cup white vinegar
   • ⅓ cup distilled water
   • 3 drops Tea Tree Oil
   • 11 drops Clove Essential Oil
     Shake the ingredients together, then spray on the affected areas. Allow it to sit for a few minutes before wiping clean. This mixture provides a robust disinfecting solution, enhanced by the combined antimicrobial power of Clove and Tea Tree oils.

3. Add Clove Oil to Your Laundry
   For fabrics or clothing affected by mold, simply add a few drops of Clove Oil to your regular washing detergent. This will help remove the mold while leaving a fresh and pleasant fragrance.

4. Use Clove Oil to Clean Your Washing Machine
   If your washing machine has mold, add around 10 drops of Clove Oil directly into the drum and run a hot cycle (60°C or above). This will help kill any lingering mold or spores inside the machine.

5. Check Hidden Areas for Mold
   Mold doesn’t always grow in obvious spots. Make sure to inspect areas such as bathroom tiles, grout, window sills, and under sinks—places where mold is likely to thrive. Regular checks and maintenance can help prevent major mold build-up.
