I used to think bleach was the best remedy for surface mold until I learned from a toxicologist and from personal experience that bleach does not actually kill the mold. In addition, it emits harmful vapors!
The good news is there are lots of natural ways to deal with surface mold including white vinegar, peroxide and more.
My favorite is a paste made with borax, water and tea tree oil. There's no need to use chemicals when eradicating a simple surface mold problem.
Always rule out a deeper mold issue. Sometimes surface mold is the sign of hidden water damage
Enjoyed the project?
