UK Guides Tout Grapefruit Seed Extract as Fast, Odour‑Free Black Mould Remedy

Consumer guides quote Beyond Toxics alongside Mould in Homes during a seasonal rise in condensation.

Overview

  • Articles report the extract begins working in about five minutes, contrasting it with white vinegar’s stronger smell and roughly one‑hour dwell time.
  • How‑to advice recommends mixing about 10 drops per cup of water, spraying the area, leaving it for 5–10 minutes, then wiping and letting it dry without rinsing.
  • Sources describe the extract as a natural antifungal and fungicide that also deodorises, with Beyond Toxics citing efficacy against 60 types of bacteria and yeasts.
  • Guidance notes it is most effective on nonporous surfaces, though it can also be used on porous materials, with reapplication suggested if needed.
  • Coverage situates the advice in colder‑weather conditions that drive condensation, while a separate expert roundup stresses fixing moisture sources and improving ventilation to prevent mould returning.
