Australian Tea tree oil is a broad spectrum germicide and fungicide.
This wonderful and cheap oil has many uses and benefits for housekeeping.
You can test how well it works to kill mold and mildew with this simple recipe:
Put 2 teaspoons of Pure Australian tea tree oil in a spray bottle with two cups of water. Don’t rinse. Spray this mixture on something musty. Let the smell vanish (can take a couple of days). Surprise: the smell of mold and must will be vanished, too, and won’t come back as long as the source of moisture has been removed.
Here are some ways to use organic tea tree oil antiseptic at home for housekeeping measures:
1. General Pure Tea Tree Oil Spray

2. Musty Mold Remover
The must will be removed from anything using the above formula. Just don’t rinse.
3. Household Antiseptic Spray
