Tinderbox Clove Bud Essential Oil 15ml

Why remove mould with clove oil?

We have a great reference from a Brisbane City Council inspector reviewing flooded, smelly, already mould-growing homes. He advised to keep away from chlorine bleach to clean mould as it only 'bleaches' the colour out and does not kill the mould. "It'll be back in a few weeks," he said. "CLOVE OIL is the best!"

Clove oil perfume: Spicy. Warm. Oil of cloves combines well with: Lavender, Orange, Ylang Ylang.

Clove oil properties: Analgesic, Expectorant, Stimulant.

Cleaning uses: Mould removal: Add a couple of drops of clove oil to a paste of bicarb and vinegar and scrub grout with a toothbrush every few months (source: Spotless). Clean mould from hard surfaces: mix 1/4 teaspoon of clove oil per 1 litre of water, spray on, leave 20 minutes and wipe off, spray on again and leave until mould dies and drops off (source: Shannon Lush, ABC local radio).
Room disinfectant
Insecticide

Personal uses: Clove oil has long been used for analgesic (pain killing) purposes.

• Bronchitis and Colds
• Infected Wounds
• Insect Repellant
• Mouth Sores
• Muscle and Nerve Tension
• Toothache

Contra-indications:
Clove oil is highly irritating to the skin and must be diluted to concentrations less than 1% prior to use.

Please take care as baby and sensitive skins may be affected by clove oil residue on items that come into close contact with the skin - for example, baby car seat covers.

To help keep mould to a minimum once you have eliminated it from your surfaces try our Mould aroma gel that removes mould spores from the air using clove oil.
