Mold can be found on all sorts of surfaces, including windows. Removing mold from your windows is an important process that should be taken seriously, as untreated mold can become more resistant to treatment in the future, causing harm to the surfaces and to your health as well. However, before you decide to take up the challenge, we recommend that you take the right preventative measures. To start, make sure you use gloves and protection for your eyes and a mask when working around mold spores. It’s important to keep in mind that bleach and other powerful chemicals can cause permanent damage to the finish of your window frames and surrounding materials (paint, tiles, etc) therefore, make sure all adjacent surfaces are fully protected from any contact with cleaning chemicals. To use it correctly combine a cup of bleach per 10 cups of water, put the mixture in a spray bottle, and spray the mold until it is saturated, but not heavily dripping wet. Finally, rinse with water and make sure to dry the window completely. Mold may start to form from any excess moisture on the windows.

Another solution of removing mold from aluminium windows is mixing water with laundry detergent. As mentioned above, you firstly need to protect your eyes, mouth, and hands to avoid harming yourself. But, before starting the cleaning process, you need to open the windows and let fresh air circulate. Then, you take the water and mix it with laundry detergent in a bucket. You can use a cloth to wipe down the moldy areas of the window. Or you can spray the mold with water and then use laundry detergent to remove any stains. Rinse with plenty of water and dry quickly in order to prevent any damage to the aluminium surface, or mold growth from the extra humidity.

In conclusion, the removal of mold is a process that should be taken seriously. If the mold is left untreated, it can become much more resistant to treatment in the future. However, it’s important to take the necessary precautionary measures when removing mold from aluminium windows so that you are not exposed to toxic chemicals and irritants.
