Since it grows, it's important to get rid of it as soon as you see it.
A handy way to stop mold in its tracks is copper sulfate, which is commonly used to kill algae in pools.
Copper is a natural biocide, and pretty much harmless to mammals, according to the Columbus Dispatch.
It comes in the form of a powder and must be mixed with water to use it on mold in and around the home.

BE GONE
To use it, dissolve 1.75 pounds of copper sulfate in a gallon of water. Make sure the area is dry and then use a spray bottle or sponge to apply the solution.
Any visible traces of mold should be cleaned off before applying the mixture.
Once the first application has dried, apply a second coat.
These steps might have to be repeated three to five times depending on how bad the mold was, according to Purityis.
