Can molds damage or destroy the contents of or personal property within a building?
Yes. Mold can destroy and/or damage the contents of a building, commonly known as personal property. Typically, “soft items” such as mattresses, couches and other upholstered items cannot be cleaned because mold spores can become trapped in the surfaces of these items. “Hard items” on the other hand, such as wood furniture, appliances and other non?porous goods are typically cleaned by HEPA vacuuming and washing.
