How to get mould off timber floors
Treat the surface with a barely damp cloth, do not flood the boards, and dry the room. First Light is the treatment, after a spot-test of the finish. Lab tested: 99.2% on direct contact. If the growth is under the house, stop and use mould under the house.
Floor, finish and underlay
Finished boards, raw timber, and a rug on top are different jobs. A rug has its own page. Furniture is mould on wood furniture, not this one.
The method
Wear protection. No standing water. Spot-test the finish. Treat, then dry. Do not mop a timber floor with bleach.
Treat the boards, do not soak them
First Light on a barely damp cloth, after a spot-test. Lab tested: 99.2% on direct contact. The Protection Kit is for the room above if it stays damp. Free standard shipping. 60-day money-back.
