Anyone know what I can use to get rid of mold spores on wood ahead of painting?   mrmaplewood Citizen Username: Mrmaplewood Post Number: 284 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2006 - 4:20 pm:        Bleach solution.   Jennifer Pickett Citizen Username: Jpickett Post Number: 135 Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Wednesday, January 18, 2006 - 11:28 am:        Tilex Mold and Mildew is very strong effective stuff if bleach doesn't cut it, you can see if the bottle says it is okay for wood. I think there are also mold/mildew-inhibiting additives you can add to the new coat of paint. If you have active mold growth, you might want to think of where else the mold might be growing, though, and see if you can reduce the humidity in that space.
