Prevention and cleaning

There are several things you can do to keep your garage door mold free. Even if your door has already started to grow mold, these tips can help:

  • Eliminate the elements. Mold needs food, moisture and warmth to grow. By removing at least one of these elements from your garage, you can avoid mold growth. A simple coat of paint can often be the needed barrier to keep the moisture away.
  • Clean your door with natural chemicals. Borax is a chemical used in many commercial applications for pest and fungicidal control and can be found in your local supermarket in the laundry section. Use a sponge or cloth to wipe the garage door surface with the simple water-borax solution.
