I am looking for effective ways to permanently kill black mold in a small bathroom. The over the counter bathroom cleaners will clean it, but will not kill it effectively. The over the counter methods also make me quite dizzy even with the ventilation that I can get in that room. |

There is no answer at this time. |

I had black mold in my bathroom. After a lot of research on the subject, here's what I did. I sprayed all the mold down with X-14. This is basically a strong bleach, the only thing that really kills the stuff. If you don't have good ventilation in the bathroom, buy a fan to move air around, and wear a mask. Let it sit for a while before wiping it off. If wood is infected, wiping rubbing alcohol on it works, too. To keep mold from coming back, after the walls are clean, paint them with mold-resistant paint. Invest in a small heater (the kind that sits on the floor is fine), and run it every day after the family takes their showers. The mold should stay away. Kriswrite |

You could try a bleach pen (tube of concentrated bleach gel). You can paint the bleach over the moldy areas, let it sit/dry for a day, and then wipe it clean. Because it isn't an aerosol, the fumes aren't too bad. |

I heard a NPR report on molds and the expert said that one of the best ways to kill mold is to use Borax. Borax is a soap that can penetrate porus surfaces. Other cleaners just skim the surface. Here is a link to this particular product: http://www.dialcorp.com/index.cfm?page_id=55 |
