Pour 250 ml of white vinegar into a spray bottle. Spray directly on the mold stains and wait about 5 minutes.
Then wipe with a clean cloth. If the stain does not come off, try applying it several times.
Tea Tree Oil

Finally, wipe the wall with a microfiber or cotton cloth and let dry.
Sodium Percarbonate
Pour 3 tablespoons of sodium percarbonate into half a liter of warm water and mix well until perfectly dissolved.
Pour the solution into a bottle fitted with a spray bottle and spray on the areas affected by mold. Rinse after 5 minutes and finally wipe with a clean cloth.
