How to Clean Molds

The answer to this question depends on the surfaces the mold has growing on and how severe the mold has gotten.

Mold in or on windows:

If Mold has grown on windows, in most cases you can clean mold from the window on your own. However if the mold is growing on the window sill or window frame and is penetrating the surface further remediation will most likely be required.

What can I Use to clean molds?

You will want to use Soap and water, or a mold product often available in stores like home depot. If using a mold product, read the label, apply it for the right dwelling time (how long it needs to stay on the surface before cleaning), Clean the mold, wipe it down, bag the cloth /paper in a bag and seal it of (tie it up), then throw it away, it is also good to hepa vacuum and clean all surfaces. Also make sure you have lots of fresh air coming into the area you are cleaning.

Clean Molds from Dry wall:

In Most CASES it can not or should not been done alone, mold on drywall usually penetrates since it is a porous material, and therefore is not just surface mold. Generally there is more than meets the eye if it is on the front of your drywall there is a good chance you will find more mold on the back of your drywall. Because of this by disturbing the mold on your drywall you are causing it to go into defence mode and it will release millions of spores into your air and may spread to other areas of your home. Just like when a maple tree is under stress it will drop thousands of keys as a defence mechanism to try and reproduce itself, it is the same when it comes to mold on your drywall.

Clean mold from concrete:

If you can clean it - If your basement is not finished scrub all of the concrete with a steel brush and T.S.P and then wipe down entirely, you still need to disinfect and hepa vacuum. In a lot of cases when you see white on your concrete it is commonly mistaken for mold, but it is actually efflorescence. Efflorescence occurs when excess water meets concrete (calcination) and in most cases is a good indication that you have foundation or waterproofing issues or a leak coming from another source in your home. If the white areas continue horizontally around the perimeter of your basement it is most likely a foundation problem. If the white marks are coming down your wall then the source is coming from somewhere else. However there is white mold and without mould testing we can't be certain if it is mould or not.

If you require testing or need a foundation expert give us a call and we can make an appointment or have a foundation/waterproofing expert contact you.

Clean mold in showers:

On the grout do it your self€¦€¦€¦ don't spend money, it's not harmful just make sure you do a thorough clean of your bathroom after you have cleaned the mold. However if there are areas where your grout is damaged or missing, or if your shower is not properly sealed it is more than likely that water has penetrated and the walls behind your shower are affected with mold.
