Moldy Windows In New Castle, DE

What To Do With Mold In Your Windows

Most people do not even realize they have mold growing on their windows. On most homes, mold begins to grow at the bottom of the windows at the joint between the glass and window sash frame as seen in these photos.  Large amounts of mold can potentially be dangerous to you and your family’s health. While window mold does not typically feed on windows themselves, it can destroy wood window frames. Staying on top of the mold in your windowsills and home will benefit your windows and health. We can help you stay on top of your mold problem and remedy any damages that have occurred. 

When removing mold from your windows, it is important to understand that safety comes first.

• Before you begin, always put on safety googles, gloves and a dust mask. You want to make sure you do not ingest the dangerous spores that the mold can release into the air.

• It is also very important that there is adequate ventilation in the room. Open a window or door so the mold spores can escape, instead of staying locked in your home.

• Make a mixture of one part bleach to three parts warm water. Scrub the mold off of the windowsill using a non-abrasive brush and frequently dip the brush in the bleach mixture. Use a clean rag to then wipe away the mold you loosened.

• Allow the windowsill to dry completely before you close the window. Wipe off any remaining residue.
