Killing Mold with YL Thieves EO, part 2

 

Thieves Kills Mold

Young Living line of Thieves products

Here is the next installment of  Killing Mold with YL Thieves EO.  You can read part 1 here.

The moldy carpet & padding were removed.  The mold smell was… strong.  I hate that smell!  I kept a fan in the window blowing the air out of the room in the hopes that it would keep the mold spores from traipsing through the house.

Can’t you just see the spores with their evil little grins… doing the mamba?  I’m out to get you… I’m out to get you… la la, la la, la la, lala

I also sprayed the sub-floor with Lemongrass EO because it kills the minor percentage of mold that the Thieves doesn’t… though I didn’t have that.  My bedroom smelled strongly of Lemongrass… and mold.  Ick.

In the above photo you can see the large stain on the sub-floor, nearly centered in the photo and 1/2 way between the bed and closet.  If you remember from the previous post that the previous owners used to lock one cat in the master bedroom and one in the laundry room when they left for work.  Yeah.  Great.

Oh, and can you see that dark stripe along the bottom of the wall, right behind the bed?  Yeah… dark teal.  This room must have looked like some kind of dark, dank cave with a dark teal wall and dark brown carpeting.  Not my style in the least!

You can see in this picture that the areas of mold are in the walkways, not along the wall (to the left) nor under where the bed is (to the right).  At the top of this photo, near the center is the other large stain.  What you can’t see in either photo are the deep scratches in both door frames where the cat would scratch.  Yeah.  Great.

The special TheraPro diffuser arrived on July 27th.  I was blessed with an extra bottle of Thieves EO and a bottle of Thieves HCC too!

therapro-diffuserThe TheraPro diffuser disperses the EO without the addition of water.  Additional water is the last thing I need in there!

Features that make the TheraPro easier to use:

  • has no tubing or glass nebulizer
  • does not need to be filled with water
  • built in timers for on/off, diffusion duration & diffusion strength
  • holds a full 15 ml bottle of EO
  • has to be filled less often

      Hello Charlotte! Yes… for some reason the Lord thinks it’s a good thing for me to … fight mold and completely re-do the master bedroom … and without financial resources no less!!

      He is in control. To God be the Glory!

    Oh, my! What an ordeal, to clean out all that mold.
    I did not know about the Lemongrass Oil. Good thing to know, thank you!
