What is it? Seems to grow out of some wooden areas in the room. I’ve tried peroxide and bleach. Would a steamer help? Sorry in advance for the bad picture quality.

    @JeeBaiChow that’s white mold. Steamer will make it worse. It likes moisture and its spores are in the wood.

    Ideally a professional mould killer would be best. Otherwise:

    1. Put water and baking soda on it, leave for a while, then wash off

    2. Scrub with vinegar

    3. If possible, lightly sandpaper the wood and then re-varnish

      Thanks. This also sounds like a doable thing. It’s annoying cuz it’s a living space, so it’s likely the spores are getting everywhere. Don’t know where it came from either.
