Step-by-Step Guide
1. Preparation
-
Make sure the area you’re treating is well-ventilated. Open windows or turn on fans to keep the air circulating.
-
Pour the 3% hydrogen peroxide directly into the spray bottle—no dilution needed.
2. Application
-
Spray the hydrogen peroxide generously onto the moldy surface, ensuring full coverage.
-
Let it sit for about 10 minutes. During this time, the peroxide will penetrate the mold and start breaking it down.
3. Light Scrubbing
-
After the peroxide has worked its magic, use a small brush or old toothbrush to gently scrub the area.
-
In most cases, the mold will lift easily with just a few strokes. For stubborn spots, a little extra pressure may be needed, but the peroxide usually does most of the work.
4. Wipe Clean
-
Use a clean cloth or paper towels to wipe away the loosened mold and any leftover peroxide.
-
If needed, spray a bit more peroxide and wipe again to ensure the surface is completely clean.
5. Dry Thoroughly
-
Make sure the area is fully dry afterward. Mold thrives in moisture, so thorough drying helps prevent regrowth.
-
Use a fan or dehumidifier to speed up the process if necessary.
