Step 1: Fix the source of the leak

Fix the source of the leak before repairing water stains.

Step 2: Mix cleaning solution

Mix a solution of three parts water and one part bleach in the bucket.

Step 3: Scrub away mold

Apply the solution with a large sponge and scrub away any mold. After 20 minutes, rinse the spot with a clean sponge and dry it with paper towels.
