Autoclaving is the most reliable method of sterilization or killing bacteria and other microorganisms. It is used for all materials that contain water, and are permeable or wettable and not liable to be damaged by the process. Autoclaving provides moist heat at a temperature higher than 1000C.

Acetic acid (a.k.a. white vinegar) can act as a disinfectant that can destroy some bacteria and viruses.

The ultraviolet radiation in sunlight does work as a natural disinfectant and is used regularly to disinfect drinking water in countries such as India, Kenya, and Peru, where more complex forms of water purification are less accessible.

The chemical compound hydrogen peroxide is a powerful bleaching and cleaning agent. It is a high-level disinfectant when you add it to water, reacting very rapidly, disintegrating into hydrogen. The free radicals released by hydrogen peroxide act to decompose pollutions in water, both oxidising and disinfecting.

Hydrogen peroxide is a good alternative to using bleach to kill mold because it is safe and doesn’t damage the environment plus it doesn’t leave behinid toxic residue or produce toxic fumes like bleach does.

The researchers concluded that hydrogen peroxide (along with bleach, 70-percent isopropyl alcohol, and two commercial products) has the potential to inhibit fungal growth on solid surfaces but isn’t likely effective at killing mold on porous surfaces.

For a natural solution for getting rid of black mold, combine one part baking soda with five parts distilled white vinegar and five parts water in a spray bottle. Alternatively, you can use a chemical-based mold and mildew remover, all-purpose cleaners, bleach or dish soap.
