Garage interiors can get pretty dirty, but the worse is the mildew and mold that can grow. Moisture stays trapped in many garages as homeowners do not regularly clean the inside of their garage. Small patches start out, hidden from view behind boxes and before you know it - one entire wall is green or black! Never just paint over it, never! Trapping the organism in a moisture rich environment just help promote growth. The paint will flake off and the original problem will be ten times larger.
The first step is to clean it with a bleach solution. House-hold bleach, water and a scrub brush doesn't sound like my idea of a fun
weekend. An exterior cleaning company can take of that problem for you. We are treating the inside of a garage today, prepping it to be painted with a mildew resistant paint. A strong sodium hypochlorite based solution will rid the entire space of the pest without any pressure washing or major scrubbing. We found that Sherwin-Williams exterior paint already has a mildewcide in it, but they sell individual packets to mix into any paint. This costs less than the interior bath paint that also already has their mildewcide mixed in.
For the floor, Drylok is one of the best products out there. An epoxy, this stuff lasts for years. We cleaned and epoxed a front walkway in white and three years later, it looked as good as new. To view this exterior cleaning, visit our Gallery page on our website.
