Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar. Scrub the black spots and then spray generously again. Clean sills regularly and check for any signs of mold. Keep your windowsills as dry as possible to help prevent mold.

Protect wood by wiping away condensation on panes. Once the mold has been scrubbed use a damp microfiber cloth to wipe the surface clean. However it can penetrate into the roots of the mold and can kill and remove all traces of mold. Wet a toothbrush with the cleaning solution of your choice.

Place undiluted white vinegar in a spray bottle and spray the sills and frames. Although mold flourishes in a moist environment the spores will enter into the air as you re removing them so if you dampen the sills you re essentially gluing the existing spores down. Let the vinegar sit for an hour before rinsing. Put on gloves a face mask and safety goggles.

Spray the mildewed window sill with the mixture and let sit for 10 minutes. Dampen a clean cloth in cool water. Tea tree oil is the best treatment for killing and tackling mold on window sills unfortunately it is the most expensive option too. Pay extra attention to windows in damp rooms like the bath and laundry.

Scrub the area with some elbow grease to break up the mold particles. Vinegar and ammonia can substitute for bleach if necessary. Keep window caulking and weather stripping in good shape. Add caulk to the window edges to stop leaks and wipe away.

To prevent the mold spores from entering the air dampen the affected area with a spray bottle. Alternatively mix 1 cup oxygen bleach with 1 gallon of water and pour.
