ᐅ Removing minor mold in the roof structure (new construction)

Hello dear community,

In the attic area of our new build, some mold has developed on a few wooden beams of the roof structure (slightly spotted, only on the surface). The cause was the open cutout in the vapor barrier for the future attic staircase. Moist air likely rose directly into the attic there and settled.

I would now like to remove the light mold growth. Can anyone recommend a well-tolerated product that does not damage the material? A simple surface disinfectant (e.g., Bacillol AF) is probably not suitable, right?

Thank you in advance for your tips and suggestions.

There are many products available in hardware stores. Those containing chlorine are truly effective, but they should have a concentration of 5%!!! Good ventilation --> works!

One to five Dan Clorix. Dan Clorix is available at the supermarket. Ask the lady. She knows it. This stuff is really intense.

That's right! Be careful, it bleaches the carpet! Otherwise, go ahead!

But is chlorine suitable for wood? I also don’t want to damage the material.
If the mold is only superficial, wouldn’t chlorine be almost too strong a solution?

We treated the mold stains with a product from Pufas.
