5 Great Mold Killing Products to Clean Mold in Your House

Recommended products to kill mold

Mold is a common household problem often found in bathrooms, showers, around sinks, or leaks. Fortunately, there are many products available that can help you get rid of mold. In this blog post, we’ll explore some of the best products for killing mold and how to use them.

1. Concrobium Mold Control

Concrobium Mold Control is a non-toxic, eco-friendly product that can kill and prevent mold growth. It works by encapsulating mold spores, making them unable to reproduce. For this reason, it is number one on our list.

To use, simply spray the affected area with Concrobium Mold Control and let it dry. It can be used on a variety of surfaces, including drywall, wood, and concrete. Whereas many products simply clean mold at the surface, this one goes deep into the material to kill mold at its root level.

2. RMR-86 Instant Mold Stain & Mildew Stain Remover

RMR-86 Instant Mold Stain & Mildew Stain Remover is a powerful product that can remove even the toughest mold stains. It can be used on a variety of surfaces, including concrete and wood. They make a kind specifically for bathrooms and tile, as well. To use, simply spray the affected area with RMR-86 and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before wiping away the mold and stain.

3. Tilex Mold & Mildew Remover

Tilex Mold & Mildew Remover is a popular product that is effective at removing and preventing mold growth. It can be used on a variety of surfaces, including tile, grout, and shower curtains. To use, simply spray the affected area with Tilex Mold & Mildew Remover and let it sit for 5-10 minutes before rinsing with water.

4. Clorox Bleach

* IMPORTANT: This only works on non-porous surfaces like tile and glass. For drywall or wood, bleach won't cut it. Mold can grow deep into the materials, and we'd recommend a heavier duty treatment specifically for mold like Concrobium Mold Control.

Clorox Bleach is a household product that can be an effective mold killer if used on non-porous surfaces* such as tile, glass, and metal. Mix one cup of bleach with one gallon of water and use a sponge or spray bottle to apply the solution to the affected area. Be sure to wear gloves and protective eyewear, and avoid mixing bleach with other cleaning products.

5. Hydrogen Peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide is a natural and non-toxic alternative to bleach. It can be used on non-porous surfaces* and is effective at killing mold. Mix equal parts hydrogen peroxide and water and apply the solution to the affected area with a spray bottle or sponge.

* IMPORTANT: Like bleach, this only works on non-porous surfaces like tile and glass. For other surfaces like drywall or wood, use a heavier duty mold killer listed above.

Wrap up

We recommend the Concrobium above all for household mold killing. It's always safest to go with stronger, trusted brands specifically designed for killing mold.

In addition to using these products, it’s important to address the underlying problem that is causing the mold growth. This may involve fixing leaks, improving ventilation, or reducing humidity in the affected area. Mold can spread easily when you're treating it, though, so it can be best to use a professional mold remediation company, like us.
