Many paint retailers, for example Benjamin Moore dealers, sell a product
(Trimaco Mildew Control) that you add to paint to retard the growth of
mold and mildew. It can be used full strength or diluted in water as
well to remove existing mold. A 1.5 oz container of Trimaco can be
added to 1 gallon of paint or water as is very effective not only to
remove mold but to retard its growth.

I'm not sure what's in it. I doubt it's unique, surely there are lots
of similar products out there.
I guess my point was that as much as bleach is the old standard, it
does sometimes cause collateral damage. Also as soon as the chlorine
reacts or evaporates, it done and gone. Whereas the specialty product
I tried seems to offer some persistent resistance to re-growth.
If you can't find a specialty product designed specifically for mold
at a local hardware store, you could try a janitorial supply house, or
Acklands Grainger.

Don't know if they have that here.
What's the active ingredient(s)?

There is a product called Mold Control available at Canadian Tire
and other hardware stores. Clean surfaces conventionally and then
you spray it on and let it dry on the surface. As it dries, it
kills the mold spoors. It kills the mold and little else. When i
first tried it at home I found it was more effective than bleach
in so much as the chronically moldy window sill in our bathroom
remained mold free longer.
Chlorine bleach, on the other hand, kills the mold and everything
else. It damages most surfaces and materials,at least to some
small degree, and the compounds in the fumes are potential health
hazards.

Greetings folks,
I've discovered that I'm getting a slight mold growth on the
inside glass (GRF) in the off season. Can anyone suggest a
mild cleaner that won't scratch the GRF? I'm worried that
something harsh might leave microscopic pits that would
promote more mold growth in the off season.
Also, does anyone wax or otherwise protect the inside glass?
And if so, what do you use?
What about the textured ceiling?
I might have to replace my scuppers to effect prevention. I
never had it before, but now since I've lost all three scupper
horns, I've sealed up the holes to stop critters from nesting
and suddenly I'm getting mold.
Thanks
