What can I use to clean th e flexible weather strips around my south facing garage doors? This started soon after new garage doors and weather strips were installed. It will partly clean off but quickly returns. I have tried bleach water, automotive bleach white and dawn detergent. Uncertain about painting because must be flexible to fit around moving garage doors. Any solution greatly appreciated. Thank you.
If it is mold, try a Heavy Duty Mr. Clean Sponge. If that doesn't work, try wiping it down with straight bleach. Use a toothbrush for stubborn areas.
Mr Clean Eraser pad. Use as directed on package
Try some simple green a sponge and or a scrub brush!
spray nine...great stuff...then armour all to keep it clean longer.
Zep Clear Shell Mold & Mildew Inhibitor, safe for vinyl, etc. Use after you have removed the mold. Available at all the chain stores like Home Depot, Lowe's, Ace, True Value, Walmart, Menards...
Go to Home Depot get Krud Kutter , comes in a gallon also a spray bottle, and is a miracle product .
For mold, use vinegar, 50/50 with water should kill it. But first find out why the same area keeps having this recurring problem. Are the eves and downspouts directing water away from the area? From you photo, it looks like there is a bit of water damage to the horizontal piece of frame, maybe an internal leak from somewhere in the structure itself.
