Mold can appear in damp areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and basements. While it’s important to remove it for health reasons, cleaning mold doesn’t have to be a big chore. Here are the easiest, most effective ways to tackle mold quickly.

1. Use White Vinegar

Pour undiluted white vinegar into a spray bottle.

Spray directly onto moldy surfaces and let it sit for 1 hour.

Wipe with a damp cloth—no scrubbing needed in most cases.

2. Baking Soda Power

Mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda with 2 cups of water in a spray bottle.

Spray the moldy area, let it sit for 10 minutes, then wipe clean.

Bonus: Baking soda also absorbs odors.

3. Hydrogen Peroxide for Tough Spots

Use 3% hydrogen peroxide in a spray bottle.

Spray on mold and leave for 10–15 minutes.

Wipe or lightly scrub with a sponge if needed.

4. Magic with Dish Soap
