Guest guest Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 I was wondering if anyone had a household blend that will prevent the growth of mold. I enjoy a more humid/warm house in the winter and of course I get condensation build up on my OLD wood framed windows. Does anyone have any idea what I can use to clean/wipe/spray on the window to help the problem? Thanks for any suggestions! Krista Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not dilute it. Simply spray, let sit for a couple of minutes and wipe clean. Removes the stuff like a charm! I had a leak back a few months ago, and had some mold growing on the wall, where the water had dripped down. Sprayed and wiped. Mold was completely gone, and no musty smells left either. HTH a bit!

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Here here!! I have the same problem on the wooden strip at the base of our external doors, windows and a bit on the walls. We are trying to get our air flow situation fixed to help eliminate this problem....but then you still have to kill the mold! Would love some advise on this one also, Juliet Krista wrote: I was wondering if anyone had a household blend that will prevent the growth of mold.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Ahhh, another reason to get some Lemon Tea Tree! The mold has stained the wood, so it is hard for me to tell if I have actually gotten rid of it all. Any guesses there?

Thanks for your help, Juliet< If I had to make a guess, and you've used Lp (aka lemon scented tea tree), the mould would be gone.
