Matt Kelly walks through cleaning surface mold in bathrooms and kitchens with white vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, ammonia, or newer products like HypoAire's Total Clean. He recommends 10-15% hydrogen peroxide, protective gear, and good ventilation, and warns that visible mold might mean hidden mold elsewhere.
What are some products for cleaning? Mold. And we're going to go with topical mold. We're not talking my attic is full of mold. My crawl space is full of mold. What are some products for cleaning? Topical mold. And I'm pretty sure I may have done this in the past, but time has passed and I have an updated list. So here's your updated list. Now the place you're going to find this kind of topical mold that people are asking about cleaning is usually kitchen or bathroom wet rooms, right? Could be laundry room, could be washer, in the gasket of your front loader, but you know, on the toilet or in the shower, on the grout, the caulking edge of the tub, something like that, right. Those are the common places that you get the topical molds, which aren't always the biggest problem, not driving, you know, the health problems. But they can let you know there could be a bigger problem. If you've got mold spores coming from different areas of the house and landing in those wet areas and keep starting growing something that can be indicative of a bigger problem. So some of the cleaning solutions you can use are white vinegar. You can use 10 to 15% hydrogen peroxide. Remember when you go to CVS or Walmart or the dollar store and buy peroxide, it's usually 3% if it's a small spot and you know, sometimes you could try that and see, see if it comes back again. But it's the stronger hydrogen peroxide, like maybe 12% because sometimes you can buy it strong and then you just dilute it down to get the strength you need. Right. That's going to work the best. And if you're cleaning like in the grout or something with that, you can get a toothbrush and scrub it every window open, wear goggles. You don't want that strong hydrogen peroxide spraying in your eyes. But hydrogen peroxide is a good tool. You do ammonia, you can use decon 30, like benefect decon 30. Now remember, that is a strong, excuse me, very strong time smell. So if you have MCAs or MCS or something, you may not want that because it's very strong. But it's, it's a, it's a good tool. So if you don't have that problem, that's a good tool. Of course, EC3, we've got EC3 in our cupboard here. So when the kids windows condensate some in the winter and that moisture hits the dust and sometimes starts to grow little, little dark spots, I spray with EC3 paper towel and chuck it. Okay, so EC3 is great. And then total clean by hypo where I like. So it's hypoar.com and this one I'm really interested in. I've ordered some. It's not here yet, but it's iodine and copper based. And copper's antibacterial, antifungal, a lot of those good things. And it's safe enough, I imagine I could spray it on my skin without being a problem. Not that I want to. I'm just saying it's not a caustic option. Okay. Oh, and use code pharmacy farm A C Y if you are grabbing total clean from hypoaire.com because that coupon takes 10% off everything on their site. So that's a few of the options. I'm not saying this is, you know, complete. There are other options, other things people use, but those are some of the big ones that I know can be working well for folks. And just be careful. Don't be splashing this stuff in your eyes. Wear goggles, wear a mask if you have to, open a window. And I hope that helps.
