Vinegar works well for cleaning it off but I don't know how long it keeps it from coming back.

Ahh Yes! MOLD!! I have a bad case of the fuzzy green stuff on all my antiques that were in storage :( a few things I was able to save, others, like the paper things, I had to throw away. We think it is because of all the moisture in the air, because we have had so much rain down here in South Carolina where I live. I think we need to resort to a moisture controlled inviroment!! Anyone have a tip on how I can get it off the paper....and will this stuff harm us if we aren't wearing a mask??

So many good ideas that seem to work, I will have to keep them in mind if I find any mold when we start our remodel/addition to the house. I hear borax is used for so many things. I bought my first box the other day so I'll be putting a lot of things to the test. Mwhahahaha! *cough cough* hi :)

I used borax soultion to wash mold off a bathroom ceiling. 1/4 cup borax to 1 quart of hot water. I put it in sprayer bottle.
It is also supposed to inhibit mold growth. So far so good.

Nano silver is also excellent for killing mold (among other things)

Here's an update....no more new mold so far!!!! I am so glad-I hate the nasty stuff. Tree tea oil did a good job here. I guess my case of mold was a light one? Nothing like you had, Marly, I'm sure. I will keep that product in mind if I get any worse cases..Thanks girls!

Linda: We were flooded twice, from hurricanes. We had mold every where. That zyme away was the only thing that really worked. Some areas I had to go over and over with the zyme away, but it sure did the job. Good luck.

Marly, I googled it and it is zyme away. I had never heard of this product. So thanks!! I tried tea tree oil and vinegar. I'll see how that does. If it didn't do the trick, I may tackle this with the zyme away. And yes, mold is icky!!!!!!!

Linda: there is a product called Sym-away. It is the best I have found for mold. I'm not sure on the spelling, but you can google it. Good luck removing the mold, that is a hard job.

I have used the tea tree oil spray as well. We get that mold on the windows every winter too.
