    suggestions for mould....

    Does anyone have suggestions for getting mould out of window frames????
    I'm in a rental property and i have noticed that we are getting mould in the frames of our windows. I really don't want to take the windows out to remove it... any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    I have been told clove oil is really good for mould, but I couldnt find out how to use it. I would imagine it needs to be diluted but not sure how much?

    I know exit mould works really well on tiles in the shower but not sure about window frames.

    I found exit mould worked better in the window frames than regular bleach because there's a soaping agent in the exit mould. Don't forget to treat/wash any blinds, curtains, net curtains at the same time, hanging them out in the sun helps with this too. I also started using old cloth nappies to give the inside of my windows a wipe over especially on cold mornings when there's a lot of condensation on the glass, and this helped as well.

    ETA - also, mould often grows on dust. So if you keep your window tracks vacuumed regularly that might help as well.
