Remove Mold or Mildew from Floor Framing

If mold or mildew are growing beneath the floor, the conditions are far too damp. First step is to eliminate sources of moisture. Then mix about 3/4 cup of bleach with one gallon of water in a clean garden-style sprayer.

Wearing old clothing and goggles or safety glasses (and a respirator if the conditions make one necessary), spray the framing with this bleach/water mixture.

If you don't wear a respirator, avoid breathing the spray.

Following application, wipe off the mildew with a rag (or scrub with a brush, if necessary).
