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?

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.

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.

I once tried scrubbing molds and I just scratch my paint off.

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.
