You don’t have to suffer mold on your window casings. With the right considerations, getting rid of it – or preventing it altogether –becomes worry-free. Here’s how.
Removing Mold From Window Casings
Indoor humidity levels can increase the risk of mold development not only on your windows, but on other integral home components as well. Make sure to mitigate the source of the excess indoor humidity before dealing with mold on your windows. Otherwise, the same thing may happen again. Once that’s done, wear the right protective gear (face mask, gloves and safety glasses), and gather the necessary items to get started on the task. Here’s how to clear away the mold from your windows:
- Dampen the mold-affected areas with water in a spray bottle so that mold spores don’t fly into the air and spread.
- Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water. Use this and clean paper towels to remove the mold from the casings.
- You can also mix bleach with water to create a mild cleaning solution. Dip a clean rag into this, and wipe away the mold from the window casings. Let the bleach sit on them for 15 minutes, and then rinse the casings with clean water. Dry them thoroughly after.
