If you’re got mold issues in your home, consider these tips for cleaning it up.
1. Use soap & water. If mold only occupies a small area of the home you can clean it up with soapy water and a lot of elbow grease. Allow the area to dry completely and repeat if necessary. Once the area is completely dry, repaint the area. This strategy is only recommended for mold that covers an area less than 10 square feet.
2. If you don’t feel that soap is strong enough, try mixing 1 cup of bleach into a 1 gallon of warm water and scrubbing with that. Just know that although bleach kills mold, dead mold spores can still be dangerous. Again, this method is only recommended if the mold covers an area less than 10 square feet.
3. Hire a professional. If mold occupies large areas in your home it is best to have it removed by someone with experience so that it can be truly taken care of so that it doesn’t recur.
