## 🧽 Step-by-Step Instructions

### 1. **Spray With Vinegar**

Fill a spray bottle with **undiluted white vinegar** and generously spray the moldy area. Let it sit for **at least 1 hour** — vinegar breaks down mold structure and kills about 80–90% of mold types.

### 2. **Scrub with Baking Soda Paste**

Mix a tablespoon of **baking soda** with a little water to make a thick paste. Apply it to the affected area and scrub gently with a toothbrush or cleaning brush. This not only removes stains but also deodorizes and prevents mold from returning.

### 3. **Rinse and Wipe Clean**

Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe away the residue. If needed, spray with vinegar again for extra effect and allow it to air dry.

* **Baking soda** is abrasive enough to scrub surfaces but gentle enough not to damage them, while also absorbing moisture and odors.
* **Tea tree oil** adds antifungal power and a pleasant scent (if used).

## 🏠 Where to Use It
