For instance, when we left for vacation, we had pretty, clean and white trim around the outside of our house. When we came home, it looked like this:
Seriously, it was like that around the entire house and it had only been a week! Apparently all the rain and the hot temperatures have been great for not just mosquitos (seriously, they could carry a small child away they are so massive) but it's also great for mold. I instantly saw $$ thinking we'd have to pay for someone to power wash the house this week on top of all the costs of moving.
Thankfully my husband had a great solution I never even knew he used - Mold Armor. You can get it at Lowes and probably other garden stores.
You simply hook it up to your garden hose and spray it on the affected areas. Within a few minutes the mold is killed and bleached. It's amazing! If you don't believe me take a look at the pictures just a measly 10 minutes after he sprayed it.
The other great thing about the spray is that it's not expensive. I think a bottle runs somewhere around $10. We used 2.5 bottles on our house only because it was so bad that we double sprayed some spots and Daniel also used some on the deck. Ah another few pennies saved and another win for DIY!
That's great! I'm glad you found something affordable to get rid of the molds. The longer you let them persist, the more extensive the damage could get. And it's also a good reason to learn a thing or two about mold removal when you're going for DIY so you can be better prepared next time.

Looks almost brand new! You might want to get some mold killers for the grates as well, as they’re bound to have gotten there during the time you were away from the house. Ventilation is the worst place to have mold growth at, especially because you don’t tend to notice them there until it’s too late.
