Removing Mold From Walls
- 1). Wear a mold-approved respirator, rubber gloves and safety goggles.
- 2). Open windows and doors to provide adequate ventilation. Set up large fans to circulate the air. Install a dehumidifier to remove excess moisture from the air.
- 3). Spray or brush the moldy wall with a commercial mold killer. Some mold killers are available in a concentrated form and require dilution prior to use. Allow the mold killer to remain on the wall according to the manufacturer's directions, which can range from 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the brand. Chlorine bleach is also an effective mold killer. Spray moldy walls with chlorine bleach, and allow the bleach to remain on the surface for 15 to 20 minutes
- 4). Scrub areas of stubborn mold wild a nylon scrubber or stiff-bristle scrub brush. Wipe the wall with a rag to remove the remaining mold killer. Repeat if necessary to remove any remaining mold.
