How to Remove Mold from Shutters: Anita Birges shares how to make homemade spray

An Australian cleaning expert on a mold-fighting mission explained how to keep unwanted bacterial growth out of your home.

Anita Birges, head of Mise en Place Professional Organizing in Sydney, suggested a “preventive solution” based on clove oil, tea tree oil and white vinegar to prevent mold growth.

In an Instagram video, Anita said she will use the homemade mixture after cleaning and disinfecting the infected area.

After returning from a weekend trip, Anita saw mold attack her shutters (right). He promptly removed the mold from the blinds by cleaning the area with a homemade solution of equal parts isopropyl and warm water in a spray bottle.

After returning from a distant weekend, Anita discovered that mold had damaged her blinds, as well as “usually suspicious” areas such as the front door and window sills.

“I knew leaving the house for the weekend without airflow and sealing the house would be an ideal situation for the fungus to set in. I was right!!’ wrote online.

He hastened to remove the mold from the blinds by cleaning the area with a homemade solution of equal parts isopropyl and hot water in a spray bottle.

Anita sprayed it on the area, left it on for 10 minutes, and then cleaned it with a microfiber cloth.

Spraying the prevention solution onto surfaces frequently helps prevent the fungus from returning.

The homemade spray is also sponsored by wellness company Vitalia, the brand also shared how to make a solution similar to Anita’s.

Isopropyl is a type of alcohol that can be purchased at Bunnings Warehouse, while essential oils and vinegar are excellent antibacterial ingredients for killing bacteria, and both can be purchased at the pharmacy.

Less than 24 hours later, the helpful clip went viral and has been viewed more than 88,000 times.

This year Sydney has been flooded with heavy rain that has run out of Bunnings’ antifungal products.

It is important to remove mold from your home, as mold spores can cause health problems.

Earlier this year, Anita shared another simple trick for keeping mold out of drawers and cabinets.

He suggested using chalk and clove oil to prevent mold growth in videos posted on popular Instagram and TikTok pages.

She adds a few drops of clove oil to a large chalk stick and places it in her drawer to absorb moisture and kill mold spores.

Anita recommended using chalk and clove oil to prevent mold growth in a video on her popular Instagram and TikTok pages.

‘Do you have mold in your drawers or bedroom? Okay, here’s the gambling mushroom prevention trick for you,” he says in the clip.

Anita suggests putting two to three drops of clove oil in a giant crayon.

“Put or hang in cabinets and drawers and let the smell kill the mold spores,” said the cleaning expert.

Anita said in the comments that the chalk absorbs moisture and the clove oil keeps the mold from returning.

The clips have been viewed thousands of times and many have been grateful for the advice after seeing an increase in household mold from the damp, humid climate that is infesting parts of Queensland and New South Wales.

“It’s always the simple things that work best!” said one fan.

‘Wow that’s great. I’ll get some plaster tomorrow,” he wrote for a second.
