Stern Mold

Mold in your home is never good. For one thing, it can mean there is moisture seepage or a leak causing damp conditions, and for another, mold is unhealthy and can pose health problems.

Removing Mold Safely in Small Areas

When you’re faced with moldy residue, the first instinct is to clean the area eliminating the moldy material. If the area is relatively small, it is possible to remove the mold by thoroughly cleaning but it also depends on the type of material that needs cleaning. For example,moldy carpeting isn’t cleanable, and moldy drywall and insulation both need to be removed and replaced.

If it’s possible to clean a small surface, these are the things you’ll need:

• Rubber gloves

• Disposable mask

• Safety glasses

• Recommended mold remover

• Disposable wipes, paper towels, rags or sponge
