How to clean mold off windows and frames without it returning?

Question

About a month ago I cleaned my windows with a vinegar mix to get rid of the mold but now it has come back again. What are some safe products I can use that will stop it from returning?

Answer 1

It will continue to return until you solve the moisture problem.

Answer 2

I like to use bleach for mold/mildew.  But Saaanen is right, until you resolve the underlying moisture problem it will keep coming back.  You probably have a cracked seal on your window.

Answer 3

Use bleach then wait a day to use regular windex and try to preven moisture for gathering on the future and it probably won't come back.

Answer 4

Consider the remarkable research on toxic mold removal done by environmental expert Dr Ed Close. Simply diffusing a therapeutic-grade essential oil regularly will likely result in an environment very hostile to mold.

Thieves is safe AND healthy. You WANT to breath it. Unlike bleach which the EPA now says shouldn't be used against mold.

The concentrated Thieves Household Cleaner that Dr Close recommends to his remediation clients is under $30. To get all-encompassing, the cleaner, a diffuser and a bottle of Thieves oil probably costs around $200.

Answer 5

Use a spray bottle with about 3 tablespoons of bleach in the water.
