Dealing with mold is never fun. On top of the inconvenience factor, when left untreated mold can actually have negative health effects. Unfortunately, one of the most common problems homeowners face is the buildup of mold and mildew. Let’s take a look at some of the best residential mold remediation tips.
Mold and mildew thrive in moisture. The first step in removing and preventing it is to clean the places in a home where it’s most likely to show up and keep them dry. Be sure to regularly clean your bathroom and kitchen, stretch out wet shower curtains and dry damp clothing quickly. You can also use appliances such as a dehumidifier to reduce the amount of moisture throughout your home.
When it comes to mold removal, you should rely on the help of a professional to ensure the moisture problem is resolved and the mold is removed safely. Household cleaners are not effective at removing mold, and since mold spores are easily disturbed, you could even be making the problem worse by attempting to clean it up yourself.
Mold can also fester inside walls and in other parts of the house that are not out in the open or accessible. When this happens, a mold remediation professional will identify the areas where mold is growing and physically remove it. You’ll appreciate the peace of mind knowing that your mold problem is actually taken care of, and not just what you can see.
