Is vinigar an effective safe product to kill mold

Vinegar is a temporary solution. It just cleans it all nice and shiny new looking. But those mold spores and mold remnants are still THERE. Do you know how tiny a mold spore is???
USE CLOROX bleach, diluted to a 1: 5 with water. Scrub that chlorine right in the eyes of those mold plants.
THEN.. you can sleep.. or repaint when it's dry, or not repaint. Remember to stop mold and mildew before it starts. Keep the area dry somehow. Use your bath towel to dry the window sill, then throw your towel in the hamper for wash day.

Vinegar is a good disinfectant use it in cleaning your whole bathroom and kitchen area, floors as well as counterttops etc. yes it will kill mold, try it full strength if needed,. The exhausts fans both in kitchen and bath are a necessary item to keep the humidity down in these areas while cooking and showering. They will greatly help in keeping both rooms mold free.

I don'tthink so but a mixture of water and bleach will. Don't use straight bleach as the fumes may overwhelm you. You can also use a bathroom cleaning product designed to kill mold but it is mainly just a bleach mixture anyway.
Mold will likely return afert a while but it will be new mold bleach does a great job.I have used it many times.

For getting mold off...use vinigar.
To keep mold off...rub a thin layer of WD40
To clean windows, I use cloths from this web-site.
www.EazeeClean.com
Try this cleaning cloth. You have to buy in packages of 5 but they are only like $3 bucks a piece. I have ordered them and use them on everything, especially cleaning windows and clean mirrors. They are made out of tiny fibers. They are guaranteed not to scratch and all you do is rinse the cloth under water, wring it out and wipe ANY surface with no streaks or scratch. Use em over and over. I have not thrown one away yet!
I even waxed my car with it! I am sold on this ...I encourage you to try them...

I have never tried vinigar but a bit of bleach water works wonders

Bleach is really the best way to get rid of mold and mildew, but only on metal window frames. If you have wooden ones, it may wreck them. Try a weak solution of bleach diluted in water, and only on a small area of your windows, if they're wood, and see how that works.

It is constant condensation that encourages mold production. The mold will die off with constant cleaning but if the condensation issue is not resolved, will keep on coming back..

a mix of diluted sodium hypochlorite, mixed with TSP, tetra-sodium phosphate. So a sprint chlorine bleach, and a few TSP, the two which may well be purchased on the ironmongery save. those 2 issues are the main substantial factors of all anti-mildew and mildew cleaners. even with the undeniable fact that in case you purchase them your self, and combine them your self, you keep approximately $8-$11 money.

Yes vinegar will kill it..then repaint using KILZ paint and it should stay gone. Also keep window sills dry and wiped out .

A chlorox solution works best for killing mold.
