How do you get rid of mildew on windows inside the house?

Answer

Mildew is the black crud that creeps up in your shower and around your faucets. To make your own mildew remover and clean up that mess, follow these easy steps.

Steps: 1. Pour 1 cup bleach into 1 gallon water.

2. Mix well.

3. Pour a small portion of the bleach mixture into a bowl.

4. Apply the mixture with a toothbrush for small areas.

5. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle for larger areas.

6. Spray on shower walls, doors and curtains.

7. Scrub with toothbrush or large stiff-bristle brush.

8. Rinse thoroughly.

Tips: This cleaning solution is ideal for shower stalls, glass doors and curtains.

Use this mixture in a spray bottle for daily cleaning after a shower. Simply spray on walls, doors and curtains, and leave until next shower. There's no need for rinsing.

Warnings: Make sure you open all windows or turn on a fan in the room you're working in. You'll need plenty of fresh air and ventilation.

When spraying the mixture, don't inhale the fumes.

Answer

Get a small spray bottle and fill it 2/3 full of water and 1/3 full of bleach. Spray it on the mildew and let it set in. Wipe it off with a wet rag and repeat until it dissappears. This method also works on bathroom walls where mildew and mold like to accumulate over and near the shower.

Answer

Mildew is caused by lack of airflow and moisture in the air. You can get rid of it by using bleach, but that won't deal with the underlying cause. You have to change the environment. Open the windows or get an extractor system if you can.
