How to Remove Molds from Different Surfaces?

Mold is a serious health risk. Mold exposure may aggravate allergies, asthma, and other respiratory disorders. If you value your family’s health, mold spores must be fully eliminated from your home. If mold is not properly removed, it might spread. Mold eradication on various surfaces involves the use of different cleaning methods. 

Mold Removal From Any Surface

Your family’s health will be protected if you practice care and take preventive actions to maintain your house mold-free. Mold may be removed from various surfaces using the methods listed below.

Concrete

Keep plants and trees pruned to allow sunlight to dry up any excess water on concrete surfaces to prevent mold and mildew from forming. Make sure there is no standing water on the concrete to prevent mold growth.

A home remedy mold killer is just as effective as anything you can buy over the counter when removing mold. Three quarts of hot water and 1/3 cup of powdered soap are required for this preparation (not boiling). To produce a mold remover, combine water, bleach, and detergent in a dish.

Use a firm bristle brush to scrub the mold killer combination over the mold and nearby surfaces while wearing goggles and gloves and ensuring enough ventilation. After letting the mixture stay for five to ten minutes, spray the area with a hose. If there is still a trace of mold in the area, the mold eradication process must be repeated.

Wood

While cleaning the mold is difficult, it is more challenging to deal with wood due to its porous nature. The most straightforward technique to get rid of mold is to mix five tablespoons of baking soda with one gallon of warm water. Wet a towel with the mixture and wring it out. Draining just a fraction of the water is recommended. Because the mixture will infiltrate the wood surface a little, you don’t want to dry out the towel. 

Scrubbing should be used to eliminate mold and mildew from the wood. If the surface contains grooves, you can get inside them using Q-tips. After that, clean the surface with a clean, wet towel and wipe with a clean, dry cloth. Use an oscillating fan to circulate the air to achieve the best drying results.

By rubbing petroleum jelly into the discolored region with your fingertips, you may get rid of it. If this moderate approach doesn’t work, combine 1 part rubbing alcohol with ten parts water in a ratio of 1 part rubbing alcohol to 10 parts water. In theory, this should do the work and permanently remove the stain. Use a clean, damp towel to wipe off the surface, then a dry one to prevent mold from returning.
