White mold can grow on just about anything provided it's in the proper environment and has a source of food. The methods for getting rid of white mold are the same as for most other molds. You will need:
Mask
Humidifier
Bleach
Scrub brush
Bucket
Water
Rubber gloves
Detergent
Clean rags
Sponges
1. Wearing mask and rubber gloves, mix 1 cup of bleach with 1 gallon of water in a large bucket.
2. You should seal off the rest of your home from the infected area and open one or more windows for ventilation.
3. Apply water and bleach solution to the area and wash with a rag. The bleach will kill any bacteria near the area and ensure that all of the mold is gone.
4. Be sure that your mask is secured over your nose and mouth to keep from inhaling the bleach chemicals.
5. Scrub area with brush. This will ensure that the location has been washed down and scrubbed thoroughly to avoid the presence of mold.
6. Wash area with detergent. This will help to get rid of any bacteria still left and prevent the mold from growing again.
7. Dry the area with clean dry rags. This will help to dry the surface completely and reduce the chance of dampness.
8. After you are done cleaning the area, put sponge and rags into a plastic bag and dispose of outside the home.The smell of bleach and detergent can be very strong and you don't want anyone to inhale the chemicals. Dispose of the mask and gloves.
9. Dry out your home with a humidifier. Since mold develops in damp places, you want to make sure that there are no moist areas in the walls and corners of your house.
