Mildew is caused by mold spores, and bleach will kill these. You need to thoroughly dry out the area, some places rent fans and space heaters for this, and sometimes this alone is enough to kill the mildew. If not, bleach and water will do it, but this can't be used on carpeting, just on walls, or where ever you see mildew. If there is carpeting your best bet is to pull it up and replace the pad, after spraying the floor with a bleach solution, and allowing this to dry. If it's another type of flooring I would use a bleach and water mixture, and allow to dry. |
