WHAT TO EXPECT if you live in a CHEAP HOME in a PARADISE! | Philippines Travel

[@krisp4889]

Had a car with very bad mold problems tried bleach, and ozone treatments nothing worked, then used vinegar and water half and half killed the mold permanently__ it doesn't remove the mold stain but stops it growing__ a little bleach will get rid of the stain. Love the little house what more does anyone need, such a lovely spot.

[@Rubeauti]

Wow really? Thanks for the tip!

[@NANAAveteran]

@@davymoose3815 No, vinegar does nothing for killing mold. Why are you people telling her this. It makes me mad when people treat Filipnas Filipinos badly. All of you Americans would know that nearly nothing kills house mold because we hear all about in on the news from time to time and we head about houses being condemned about it from time to time...

[@markmcdaniel304]

I know bleach kills mold. Use half water and half bleach so you don't burn your lungs. I did water and fire restoration for years. Most times the company would charge thousands of dollars when bleach would fix it.

[@paulallain7818]

I love your new haircut❤

[@JC-zv3cv]

A lot of suggestions to use bleach to kill the mould ( the correct way of spelling ) Asa rule, bleach doesnt kill mould, it inhibits the growth & slows it down unless you use industrial double strength chlorine bleach.- breathing in chlorine bleach is just as bad if not worse than mould. A much simpler & i suggest cheaper solution is to use isopropyl alcohol or 70-75% alcohol which if i remember correctly is in a green bottle labelled Greens isocol or sanitiser alcohol in the Philippines and is really quite cheap. Douse or soak the area and allow it to penetrate & evaporate..

[@EternallyGod]

Bleach smell goes away within a couple hours....mold doesnt go away. It sure does kill mould...maybe not the crap you have in your country but real bleach kills mold instantly. Also bleach is cheap....where do you people come from? Such poor education.

[@NANAAveteran]

@JC I know a bit about mold and what you are saying is not true at all and you like some of these other guys are not protective of Filipinos and give advice without responsibility. Alcohol does not usually kill mold it dries it and mostly does not kill it. There are still airborne deadly spores. If you guys were in the Philippines and your advice made her sick you could be prosecuted. I am American and my kids are dual citizens and I am never surprised how much people are careless about Filipinos. I have confronted many foreigners about how they treat them and reported sex tourists. Mold is spelled mold in English..

[@markking3755]

Rubeauti you should never never over look the mod in a place at all. your health should comes first where you going to stay at. people have died from living in places that had mold in them its one thing you should never never over look at all

[@KutWrite]

@@Rubeauti If the vinegar doesn't work, try bleach diluted with water.

[@bryman777]

@@Rubeauti Bleach is the best for killing the mold, and it should stop it from comming back, or keep it under control, if the wall is made out of wood studs and drywall, you should tear out the drywall to check if there is mold growing in the wall on the wood. if there is, scrub the wood with the mold on it thats in the wall with a scrub brush and straight bleach, then let it air out and dry completely, then repair the drywall.

Great video Rubeauti! That's an excellent idea about gardening.

[@lfcbpro]

Everyone telling you how to get rid of the mold you have now, which most have told you how to do, but the important thing is to stop it in the first place. I would suggest you find where the leak is and if you can, block it, if not, put something under it to catch the leak. If it is from the drain, and you don't have a way to stop it, put a bowl or something below to stop the drips, or when using the sink, wrap a piece of cloth around the area leaking, and then when finished, dry the cloth. It may be harder if it is from the water coming in, but you could still use a cloth to absorb, and then swap out and dry. It is important to get rid of mold, but if you don't get rid of the source it will keep coming back.

[@jones4334]

You should look for a dehumidifier. Maybe it will regulate the Molds in the house.

[@puppyupper4565]

A dehumidifier would take a huge amount of energy and still would not resolve the issue of the mold under the sink. There is a leak and that should be fixed. Bleach will kill the mold.

[@puppyupper4565]

@@Rubeauti girl, those things take huge amounts of electricity. And it won't help. You live in a humid climate. It will only suck water out of the air. It won't help your sink problem.

The good thing is you can easily move. Get yourself a squeegee to help you move the water to the drain. Mold needs moisture so fix any leaks that might exist and scrub with a brush and soapy water then spray with a chlorine and water mixture . If you have one put a fan down there to dry it out. Good advice you are giving. You have a comfortable place but many westerners might have difficulty living in a house like yours because we have grown accustomed to more comforts. Many will say oh no problem but over time it will become a problem for most in my opinion.

[@wasabiao6380]

Use 3 percent hydrogen peroxide on the mold all you need is a spray bottle to wet the mold and leave it. Hydrogen peroxide works better than bleach without the smell . On another note you look fantastic with the new haircut and country living. Love your videos

[@larrdd9]

hell ya, it looks nice. I might move there for a few months and write a book. You can dry underneath the sink with the fan or hair dryer and then coat it with paint and the mold will be greatly reduced, it will come back but not within several weeks. What are the quickest solution is to dump a gallon bucket of boiling water with bleach on it and then mop that up, you have to repeat that every couple days

[@jamesgowing3856]

For the mould get vinegar and dishwashing liquid and clean the affected area. Also you will need to get the landlady to fix any leaks which is causing the mould,

[@omnidirectional2339]

with gloves on the mould use bleach scrub it, wait to dry, scrub it second time, wait to dry the spray well with white vinegar and let it dry and there you go.

[@roysjoy4715]

Pour straight bleach or ammonia on the black area, stay outside and wear a mask when using the bleach as well as goggles to cover your eyes. Just my opinion and experience in dealing with mold.

[@craigdawson7632]

The mold can get serious. If it's not sorted make a live video and there will be 30 plumbers to help :) FIx the leaks and check under the floor. Soak the wood in bleach :) Just don't seal the thread on compression fittings or it'll still leak. Might be a seal/O-ring on the trap or the plug might need to come apart and be cleaned and silicone. Could get some 2nd hand bigger water containers with taps & run a cord up top to save room down stairs. Or a rechargeable battery light

You have to have a leak in the plug or if water is hooked up in the lines,the only thing to do is to wipe up excess water and dry with fan for a bit.its better to be safe than sick from mould cause mould sickness is deadly.

[@skullteria]

use pure alcohol in a spray bottle work it in with a towel. That should eradicate the mold. Also a brush wouldnt be bad, big as well as small(toothbrush for example) for the small areas. Do that for one hour, repeat it a few days later again. After around 2 weeks of treatments depending on the resideu and small cracks. It may appear again half a year later but repeating the process should do it. Always use open windows and doors to let it air dry as fast as possible.

[@stoopoorjeenyes74]

Hi! I just wanted to add to and clarify my comments below. The wipe should be soaked in either isopropyl alcohol, or another Black Mold killer. This way when you wipe, the spores hit the wet rag, and stick to it, a dry rag is no good, as it will allow the spores to become airborne. So if the rag is folded into quarters, you make a single pass with the wipe, fold the rag over to a clean side, and repeat. 1 wipe for each clean quarter of the rag. Also, wear gloves, a mask, and then dispose of the rags into a sealed plastic bag. Use of fans as stated below is also recommended. Hopefully, this helps some folks.

Oh, this is super interesting! I was in Siquijor last December, and the only good accommodation I had there cost almost 70 euros per night if I remember correctly. Then I left to check out Panglao, but I regretted it. Tbh the best part of my one-month vacation was in Siquijor. And this house is really cute, seems comfy (not counting the spot under the sink), plus what is shocking to me is that it appears to be totally quiet. I also had difficulties with working out, but I managed to get a resistance band from Decathlon in Manila. Next time I'm traveling I'll be sure to take one with me.

[@Rubeauti]

Yes Siquijor is definitely my faborite Island in the Philippines so far. Living cheap in a paradise. I just found a gym today close to my place but I don't plan to pay for gym. I ordered some resistance band and matt already. Maybe if I can find shop in fb groups too here in Siquijor that are selling some dumbells. It would be perfect. haha

[@leakyabstraction]

@@Rubeauti Yes, I feel the same: I've been working out for over 15 years, and never visited a single gym, always did it at home. Are you working out regularly? Maybe that's why you're so aesthetic - I think it's quite noticeable, but I wasn't sure if it's just genetics. Yeah, buying dumbbells in Siquijor might be challenging, haha. I had a funny scare while I was staying there btw... I went to Paliton beach, and since my phone is "waterproof" I took it into the water with me. Then, the next day it started to develop a charging issue, and afterwards it simply stopped charging. I was so scared, since my phone was my only device with me, it had all my bookings, airplane tickets, etc., and I couldn't buy a wireless charging pad anywhere... 😄 Fortunately I managed to find a helpful tip on the internet (using my almost fully drained phone) about washing it out with non-salty water, and after repeating that multiple times it was finally back to life again.

Unfortunately bleach does very little for mold on organic surfaces like wood. Citrus products...if you can get them. You can also make your own by smashing lemons/oranges... anything highly acidic into a bit of water. Poor directly on the spot. It's unlikely that little spot is creating problems for you. But you can clean it with a rag and dish/laundry soap. Get the rag wet once, then use it to clean. If it gets dirty. Use a new cleaning rag. Then put them outside in the sun to dry for a couple of days. Then wash them as you normally would.

Hi Ruby, have just seen your channel for the 1st time. Re the mold, i see lots of advice & some wrong. Maybe the correct advice is there, but not sifting through 500 comments lol The most important thing is that there are 100's of molds, and some strains can actually kill or blind you. Plus it can effect you even after moving out. So the correct thing is to replace infected parts, and replace that part of the floor, but I doubt that the owner will go for it...but talk to her. If not fixed seriously get another place, even if more expensive. In the interim use vinegar on the mold, plus stop the source of the problem. It could be a seal, but something like toilet pan sealer might work - it's cheap and a kind of a wax that is flexible... Good luck, J
