Mildew


So I'm 100% sure I've got mildew in my hair now, so I looked online on ways to solve my problem, and the obvious reason was Tea Tree. I like the smell of teatree, but for some reason I feel sick to my stomach when it's in my face every 5 seconds(which happens when its in your dreads), so I did a search and found this

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.



Sure it's for your house, but I thought it was real handy since you spray it on, and it's organic rather than using bleach or something harsh. Want to try that grapefruit thing myself. :)

Nice drop. I imagine this can be used as preventive maintenance as well.
