What kills black mold on wood?

 
Mold on wood is a common issue because wood is a porous material, which makes it ripe for mold growth. If you are dealing with a large mold infestation, a professional cleaner service, like Mold Remediation USA, may be required to remove mold from wood surfaces. However, if only a small amount of mold needs to be removed, you can do this yourself.
 

How To Get Rid Of Black Mold On Wood?

 
We have provided the best cleaning solution for black mold removal from wood you can use at home. These will remove black mold spores and make sure the wood is protected underneath.
 
Protective Gear Is Needed
Black mold can cause health issues, which is why you need to make sure you are protected when cleaning an affected area. When killing mold, wear rubber gloves, safety goggles, and an air mask to protect yourself.
 
Cleaning Solutions
Distilled White Vinegar
Using vinegar is a safe and effective way to kill mold on wood. Vinegar does not need to be diluted with water, and it can be applied directly to wood furniture, wood flooring, or other building materials using a spray bottle.
Leave the vinegar on the wood surface for around half an hour, then use warm water and a brush to scrub the mold away.
 
Soap and Water
This is another non-toxic way of removing mold from wood, and it works best on small amounts of mold. Dishwashing detergent mixed with warm water is suitable to use on all kinds of material, as the soap works to kill mold. Use a scrub brush to remove any stains.
 
Vacuum
A mold problem in hard-to-reach areas can be vacuumed away.
Many mold species can be found in the air, and using a HEPA filter can purify the air in your home, preventing mold spores from collecting in the porous surfaces of wood furniture or flooring.
For infected drywall, the most effective solution is cutting away the mold with a utility knife then purifying the air. Cleaning mold growing on drywall is not as effective as simply removing it.
 
Baking Soda
This can be applied to get rid of mold stains on wood and non-porous areas.
You can leave this solution on various materials, and it can prevent any type of bacteria from growing again, and it is a good idea to apply it to areas that gather a lot of moisture.
 

Using Chemicals To Remove Mold

 
Bleach and hydrogen peroxide kills mold, and they can also work as a way to prevent mold from coming back on wooden furniture. However, this should be used as a last resort because these chemicals can be toxic.
Step 1: Wear protective clothing before cleaning
Step 2: Mix the chemicals with water and add the mixture to a spray bottle for safe application.
Step 3: Spray the moisture onto the wood and clean the area in circular motions. Use a soft cloth to clean mold from the wood when using chemicals, as this will protect the material underneath.
Step 4: Repeat the process if required, using circular motions for cleaning. Leave the mixture on the wood for a few minutes before scrubbing to remove tough stains.
