- 1). Put on your dust mask and rubber gloves. Black mold can cause respiratory problems if inhaled, so it's best to avoid breathing it in or touching it.
- 2). Determine the source of the black mold. Black mold is caused by excessive moisture, so look for leaks in pipes, walls or roof. If an area is just extra humid, set up a dehumidifier. It's essential to contain the cause before removing mold.
- 3). Fill a spray bottle with distilled white vinegar.
- 4). Spray generous amounts of vinegar onto the black mold. Allow it to sit for at least half an hour to an hour.
- 5). Soak a washcloth in warm water and wipe away the vinegar that you sprayed previously. Let it dry for a few hours.
- 6). Repeat the process every other day to ensure that black mold stays away for good.
