'It will not work!' "Effective" alternatives to bleach for removing mold from wooden window frames

Windows varnished, waxed or oiled

Wood with a shiny finish is likely to be covered with varnish, wax, or oil, but it will look dull if mold and dirt take hold.

The same cleaning tools used for stained wood, including soap, water, and white vinegar, can also be used on this type of window covering, although bleach should be avoided at all costs.

Water stains or severe mold stains may in some cases need to be smoothed out and re-treated. To do this, use fine sandpaper to remove the top coat and gradually reapply the appropriate product.

According to the Windows Online expert, reapplying should only be done when the frames are completely dry, as this will prevent the paint from "bubbling" and the wood from rotting.
