What happens here

Before applying any mold-killing primer, it's essential to clean the affected area thoroughly. For light surface mold or mildew, the Zinsser Mold Killing Primer can be applied directly. However, if there are noticeable fuzzy patches or significant build-up on the surface, these must be physically removed first. Prepare a bleach solution by mixing 50% water and 50% household bleach. Use this solution with scrub brushes and rags to clean and scrub away the visible mold. Ensure the surface is dry before proceeding to the next step.

Goal: Remove visible mold and mildew from the surface.
