The Best Solution for Cleaning Window Mold

Wherever there is moisture, warmth or condensation on a window there will likely be mold on the window and windowsills.  The windowsills are commonly constructed with wood so the proper tools must be used to clean them correctly. The sooner you clean the mold the easier it will be to clean.

Materials Needed:

• Gloves


• Mask


• Protective clothing


• Hairdryer


• Bucket


• Hot water


• Mild liquid dish detergent


• Cloth


• Scrubbing pad


• Towel

1. Make sure you wear gloves during the cleaning process. You may also want to wear a mask to protect yourself from the mold spores. Keep your skin covered with protective clothing.


2. Use a hairdryer to dry the window and windowsill. You want to remove all signs of wetness or moisture from the area before you clean it.


3. Fill a bucket with hot water and add six drops of mild liquid dish detergent. Use a cloth to swish the water and detergent around in the bucket. The cleaning solution will help get rid of the mold.


4. Dip a scrubbing pad into the bucket. Clean the window and windowsills to remove as much mold as possible. Dip the scrubbing pad into the bucket as many times as necessary. Make sure you work on each section of the window and windowsill at least five minutes to completely remove the mold.


5. Pour the water and detergent solution out of the bucket and rinse the bucket with hot water. Fill the bucket with clean hot water.


6. Dip a cloth into the bucket to wet the cloth. Use the cloth to rinse the soap away from the window and windowsill. Dip the cloth into the bucket as many times as possible to remove the suds.


7. Use a clean towel to dry the area. Use the hairdryer to further dry the area.
