How to clean mold from a plywood floor?

Question

I just pulled up my old carpet and padding and found a spot, about two feet by two feet, on the plywood floor that is moldy. It's black and grainy. How should I clean this?

Answer 1

the new orange glo hardwood cleaner or Goo Gone. Goo Gone works best it brings up those sticky and hard to get messes.

Answer 2

20-bleach/80water mixture let it sit forawhile then scrape away....

Answer 3

I would soak a towel in bleach and water andlay it on the spot.  You will probably have to rub a bit and repeat the process a few times, but it should do the trick.

Answer 4

I found a link for you on how to take care of this problem. Good luck!

Answer 5

Are you sure it's mould and not the backing from the carpet that's eroded and ground into the floor?

If it is mould, wipe with a cloth soaked in bleach and water - the bleach will kill the mould spores.

Make sure the windows are open to allow the flooring to fully dry out.

Don't sand the area or breathe in the spores.
