for mold problems try this.but please have someone come in to look at it for it could be a far worse problem
I have found three natural ingredients that kill
mold: Tea tree oil (an essential oil found in most health food
stores), grapefruit seed extract and vinegar. There are pros
and cons of each, but all three work. Vinegar is by far the cheapest.
Tea tree oil is expensive, but it is a broad spectrum fungicide
and seems to kill all the mold families it contacts. The problem is
that it has a very strong smell, but that dissipates in a few days.
Grapefruit seed extract is also expensive, but has no smell.


Mold can be dangerous
Try to stay on top of moisture and mold as soon as either arises.
Dry out anything that is damp, such as basements (use a
dehumidifier) and carpets. Fix leaks in plumbing and roofs.
Wipe up spills. Make sure water doesn’t escape from shower
curtains. Vigilance will pay off!

Tea Tree Treasure
Nothing natural works for mold and mildew as well as this spray.
I’ve used it successfully on a moldy ceiling from a leaking roof,
on a musty bureau, a musty rug and a moldy shower curtain. Tea
tree oil is expensive, but a little goes a very long way. Note
that the smell of tea tree oil is very strong, but it will
dissipate in a few days.

2 teaspoons tea tree oil
2 cups water

Combine in a spray bottle, shake to blend, and spray on problem
areas. Do not rinse. Makes about 2 cups, lasts indefinitely.

Grapefruit Seed Extract
The advantage of using grapefruit seed extract instead of tea tree
oil for killing mold is that it is odorless.

20 drops grapefruit seed extract
2 cups water

Combine in a spray bottle, shake to blend, and spray on problem
areas. Do not rinse. Makes about 2 cups, lasts indefinitely.

Vinegar Spray
Straight vinegar reportedly kills 82 percent of mold. Pour
some white distilled vinegar straight into a spray bottle,
spray on the moldy area, and let set without rinsing if you
can put up with the smell. It will dissipate in a few hours.

What does anyone know about natural ways to get rid of mold? Possibly some nasty kinds...I know I may have to call in experts, but am trying to go natural as much as possible. Gracias!
