Mold prevention
#6
When we remodeled, we coated all wood used with a wood preserver that had a mold/mo;dew block (after making sure each piece was soaked in Hi-Bor & dried thoroughly), so far, almost a decade & no mold on the wood.. (the brand we used was Thompsons clear, but there are others on the market)

Bleach (diluted) or Hydrogen peroxide are common household chemicals that are very effective at killing molds... but they have no residual effect

ETA:If you look at the MSDS supplied on the HD website, this product is diluted Trisodium Phosphate (TSP) in a spray bottle. TSP is available at most hardware & Big Boxes for cleaning.... so may be more cost-effective to just buy good ol` TSP & try it...

Here is HD page on a 1# box of TSP (they sell more sizes):
