Use tea tree oil

Keep area dry
Mold thrives in moist environments, so it is essential to keep the affected area dry. Use a dehumidifier to remove excess moisture from the air or open windows and doors to improve ventilation. If you live in a humid area, consider investing in moisture-resistant paint or coating for your walls and ceilings.
