How do I get rid of mold?  

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
Our camper roof leaked over the winter and some of the walls and closets have mold on them now. What could we use to clean of the mold that would kill the mold germs, and prevent it from re molding(if mold grows back once it has grow somewhere) we plan on repainting the walls after we clean it, any ideas please?!

First you have to dry out the camper, mold grows when there is a certain percentage of moisture.

Air it out, put in a dehumidifier.
Paint is good but you will really have to disinfect every surface and any air filter etc as its the dried out mold that becomes airborne and causes an issue but I wouldn't put a young baby or anyone with athsma in it...period.

i'd use an enzyme cleaner, which is safe for kids. some brands are safe2use and kleen-free--you can find them on the web.

I'd use an enzyme cleaner if ya can, but bleach works too....my tent got moldy a few years ago and I took it inside to the laundry tub and gave it a good soaking in diluted bleach- not so enviro friendly, but beats throwing away a ton of canvas.

Good luck mama
