Mold and mildew on floor
Q: We just removed carpet/pad and subfloor (particle board subfloor) to see a painted( flat white paint) original fir floor. There was mold/mildew in all 3 layers (rug to subfloor) and it still smells 2 weeks later after being sprayed with straight white vinegar, cleaned with simple green, and then sprayed with tea tree oil and water mix. Is the floor salvageable? Is there anything that will take the odor away? We’ve scraped patches of the paint off and the smell is in the wood as well.
A: Perhaps you ought to try bleach, which will kill mold spores.
