How to Safely Remove Mold or Mildew
- 1). Gather all materials first so you are prepared to tackle the mold and mildew issue.
- 2). Prepare the mixture: Mix 1 cup vinegar with 2/3 cups water in a spray bottle. If you have a larger area that you need to clean, just increase the amounts of vinegar and water equally.
- 3). Spray the mixture directly on to the mold or mildew and allow to sit for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, come back and spray a little bit more, then scrub gently with the sponge. At this point you should notice that the mold and mildew are coming off.
- 4). Should there be some remaining mold or mildew, spray the area again with the mixture and wait another 30 minutes. This time wipe away the remaining fungi with a clean rag.
- 5). Once the mold and mildew are gone, gently wipe the area away with a clean damp rag.
