What Kills Black Mold On Wood?

Wood surfaces are one of the most common places you will find mold if there is a mold problem in your home. This is because wood is very good at absorbing moisture.

Black mold is a very common type of mold that tends to pop up after leaks, storms, or flooding in warm environments. Many other types of mold can cooccur as well, and the color doesn’t always indicate how harmful the mold is. There are some black molds that are harmless and some harmful ones of white, green, and brown. Regardless of health effects, you’ll want this mold removed anyway, as mold is very destructive to wooden surfaces.

Removing mold from wood is a very labor-intensive process. You can try a few DIY tricks, but it’s frustrating if the mold grows back. But if you’re hesitant about calling for assistance, try these methods first:

  • Spray affected areas with a soap/water mixture or vinegar, then scrub.
  • Use a commercial mold removal spray.
  • Apply vodka or rubbing alcohol (Not for large areas).
  • Open windows for maximum sun exposure.

You might eliminate the visible patches, but with the potential as a toxic mold, you’ll want everything removed eventually. You’ll be able to tell if there is lingering mold by regrowth and/or a musty smell.
