  • How to clean and rid mold and mildew on unfinished wood?

    The problem exists in an attic crawl space. The source was an improperly vented bathroom fan which has been rerouted but we've now found some moldy rafters in a home we're about to put on the market. Removal and replacement of these will run upwards of $4,000.00 so we're trying to find any other possible solution since the wood is in good shape and the source has been eliminated.

    We don't believe using a bleach solution is a consideration as the water absorbed by the wood would become the perfect medium for any airborne mold spores. Perhaps there are other products or treatments available?
