Is Bleach The Only Way To Clean Away Surface Mold?

 

Vinegar can be used to clean away some mold from non-porous surfaces. Again caution should be used by testing a small spot first. Keep in mind though, that bleach or vinegar cannot clean up the mold that is in the air. Airborne mold is what usually causes allergy and illness.
