| With the drought this year, we had mold form in dots on the sun side of the trailer, I washed the trailer today and it's super hard to get off. I don't want to scratch up my paint, and it seems if it is wet for a long enough time, I can use a soft sponge to get some of it off. It almost looks like barnacles!!! I don't have all day to wet and scrub this off, any suggestions? |

Location: Minnesota | We used a product called "Wet & Forget" I think the mix was 5 to 1 with water. Sprayed on and mold was gone the next day. No scrubbing. |

Location: Rayne, LA | I agree with DLR. I have used Wet & Forget on various surfaces and always has good luck. ( P.S. I also use the one made for the shower in both my home and my trailer ) |

| Thanks, will pick some up tomorrow. I like it's good for a year. The stuff I am trying to eliminate is artillery fungus. Did some research to find out what this stuff is. |

| Thanks for advice, DLR. Will try it next time. Would be great to know that before, The weather was really killing me this year. Bought a new dehumidifier and a fan for the house, still could not handle the heat. You know, read some reviews, purchased a dehumidifier from here, "removes up to 70 pints a day", $280. Got it broken next week. Fortunately, they fixed it (They had to for that price). And a fan, ****ty one, too. Buzzing all night but I keep waking up sweaty as hell. |

| Diluted bleach works well also in removing mold. |

If you found traces of mold at your place, you need to find out the reason for this. When I had this experience, I realized that I needed to buy a dehumidifier and the hydrogen peroxide helped get rid of the mold.
Yes, I agree with you. I had an unpleasant experience with mold control and was able to solve this problem only after several months of unsuccessful attempts to remove it. I have a greenhouse and when I found mold on one of the walls I decided that if I use household chemicals I can get rid of it. And I almost did, only it came back. After a few months, I gave up and called the mold removal service, if you are interested you can find out more about it on https://www.damagecontrol-911.com/services/mold-remediation/. I am grateful to the guys from the service for their work and for helping me get rid of this problem. |

| Guys, I hope you understand that you must not forget about the smell. I made that mistake and then drove to work in a car that smelled musty. That sucks. |
