1. Containment is Critical
Containing the water source that’s causing the mold growth in the first place is step 1. Step 2 is containment of the mold itself. Mold spores become airborne when moved or disturbed and containment is critical in mold removal to keep the mold spores from spreading.
2. Protective Gear
Mold remediation is a messy process and requires the right gear to protect yourself from coming into contact with the mold. Gloves, long sleeves, long pants, boots and a respirator mask are a great way to start.
3. Create Negative Air Pressure
Open a window and put a fan in it blowing out. This creates negative air pressure in the room so any airborne contaminants go out instead of in.
4. Collect Cleaning Solutions and Products
Bleach, ammonia, borax, and vinegar are just a few of the cleaning products required for successful mold remediation.
5. Get Started!
Scrubbing the walls, floors, furniture, appliances, drywall, and personal belongings that have any signs of mold on them is necessary. If the mold won’t come off, the item must be thrown away.
