5. THREE NON-TOXIC<br />
NATURAL CLEANERS CONT.<br />
3. Baking Soda<br />
Baking soda is a mild, white mineral<br />
powder, that can be used to kill mould<br />
in your home, plus it is safe <strong>for</strong> your<br />
family and pets. Besides killing mould,<br />
it will absorb moisture to help keep<br />
mould away.<br />
To kill mould: Add one quarter of a<br />
tablespoon of baking soda to a spray<br />
bottle of water and shake until it has<br />
dissolved. Spray the mouldy area with<br />
the baking soda and water solution,<br />
then use a scrub brush to remove all<br />
the mould from the surface. Next,<br />
rinse the surface with water to<br />
remove any residual mould on the<br />
surface.<br />
Finally, spray the area again and let<br />
the surface dry. (This will kill any leftover<br />
mould and prevent the mould<br />
from returning).<br />
Summary<br />
All of these solutions are great nontoxic<br />
alternatives to chemical based<br />
cleaners. Not only because they are<br />
safe to use and safe <strong>for</strong> the<br />
environment, but all of these products<br />
are inexpensive and easy to find in<br />
your local store.<br />
