How to clean mold off wooden window frame?

tips #1
Dettol, make a anti bacterial Mold and Mildew remover. I used it in my bathroom this morning. Worked wonders. ~ Dory

tips #2
Bleach may dry the wood out. Go to your local pharmacy and grab a bottle of tea tree oil. Mix 2 tsp in a 12 ounce spray bottle and top off with water. Shake, spray, allow to sit a minute, then wipe away with a cloth or sock. The mold should just come away. This also works really well in the shower as an after shower spray or to treat existing molds. The big plus for this is that the smell won't blow you away and it won't ruin anything you get it on. ~ MJ

I've just had to do this - I just diluted some bleach in very hot water and then gently wiped it away. The paint didn't come off and the mold is all gone ~ Kat

tips #4
There are a number of products on the market, ranging from common bleach to commercial mildewcides, which are promoted for cleaning mold from wood. However, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency suggests using a mild detergent and water for most mold clean up. Common bleach and water can be used for cleaning mold. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends using a solution of 10 parts water to one part bleach to clean mold from surfaces. Stronger formulations of bleach and water may be used, particularly to remove the discoloration caused by the mold fungi. i would recommend a solution of one part household detergent, 10 parts bleach and 20 parts warm water. The solution should be applied using a bristle brush or sponge to scrub the surface of the wood. When using bleach indoors, make sure there is adequate ventilation and wear personal protection equipment. Never mix bleach with ammonia or any detergent or cleansers that contain ammonia. These methods have been used by myself and are very effective and the mould hasnt returned. Also the varnish was fine afterwards as long as you dont use an abrasive scourer. ~ Jecca
