- 1). Brush the wood with a soft bristle scrub brush to remove any loose mold.
- 2). Create a solution of lukewarm water and liquid dish soap. Use 2 teaspoons dish soap for every 2 cups water.

- 7). Dampen a clean rag slightly with the solution.
- 8). Wipe off the mold with the rag. Use light to medium pressure, and work in circular motions.
- 9). Wipe away residual denatured alcohol with a rag moistened slightly with water, and dry the furniture with a dry rag.
