How do I Remove Mold From a Shelf?

Remove any opportunity for moisture to continue affecting the shelf.

Mix the bleach, the water and the detergent together.

Put on the protective gear and old clothes, open the windows and turn on the fan.

Discard in a sealed bag any material on the shelf that may be moldy.

Scrub the surface of the shelf lightly. You do not want to knock the mold off onto another surface or into the air. Moisten the shelf with the mixture and keep it wet for at least 15 minutes.

Let it dry, and scrub again to ensure the mold is completely gone. This may take several times to accomplish.

Seal a wooden shelf using a commercial sealant.

Discard all the cleaning materials in a sealed bag.

Wash the clothing with hot water, and take a hot shower.
