Clean Up Mold Naturally with Essential Oils

Toxic mold has become a serious problem and is estimated to be in about 50 percent of the homes in the USA and Canada. If you suspect or know that your home has mold it is wise to tend to the problem as soon as possible as to avoid negative health affects to you and your family. If you do not have mold it is recommended to 'prevent' it from occurring.
High quality essential oils, such as Young Living's, can play an important role in helping to prevent toxic black mold from occurring. It is so easy to prevent mold by using Young Living oils and to prevent mold from coming back.
These three charts show the effects of Thieves essential oil diffused 24, 48 and 72 hours:

10 Steps to Prevent and Eliminate Toxic Mold

If you do not have mold - in a Nebulizer Diffuser, diffuse the Thieves or Purification blend of essential oils for 15 minutes every 3 hours, or you may instead diffuse for 8 hours, non-stop, once a week. Tip: you can buy a light timer to plug your differ into and set the timer.
If you have mold -- Eliminate it and keep it from coming back
    1. Sampling – you may want to contact a professional to have sampling done to determine the type of mold, and whether it is toxic or not. Toxic mold must be dealt with differently than non-toxic mold. If you cannot afford to have professional sampling done you can still try the 10 steps. Tip: the DIY mold sampling test kits are not accurate, so it is best to avoid them. Tip: it is best to discard any items that you do not need or want any longer - and if you do have mold do not sell or donate any items that may be contaminated with mold spores as this will give someone else the problem.
    2. Diffuse - after your samples have been collected, diffuse the Thieves essential oil blend for 24-72 hours, nonstop, in the space. One Cold-air Nebulizer diffuser works well in spaces up to 1000 sq. ft. in size. If possible, and for best results, leave the room closed and sealed during this intensive diffusing. This will allow maximum penetration and absorption of the essential oil. It is best to 'not' be living in the space(s) that are being diffused as the essential oils, though they are nontoxic, will be too intense to stay around for longer than a few minutes after the essential oil mist is in the air. Do not leave children, pets, or fish in the space(s) while the 24 hour non-stop diffusing is taking place.
    3. Repair all leaks - repair all leaks and eliminate all sources of moisture. This is a must!
    4. Clean thoroughly - if sampling identifies NO toxic mold, then after diffusing has been completed, clean visible mold and stains with the Thieves Household Cleaner, undiluted. Use protective equipment and take precautions to avoid contact with and breathing mold spores while cleaning.
    5. If sampling identifies Toxic Mold - contact a professional mold remediation service to have infested materials removed and properly disposed. Do not sell or donate any items that may be contaminated with mold spores, as this will give someone else the problem.
    6. Resample - have your professional resample to be sure all sources of mold have been identified and remediated.
    7. Repeat - if necessary, repeat steps 1 through 6, above.
    8. Remove - mold infested materials, seal in plastic and properly dispose. If you do NOT have toxic mold, you may dispose sealed materials in your garbage.
    9. Repair, Replace, Refinish all affected areas.
    10. Diffuse Regularly for prevention and protection. See above, for details.
