Can you control the spread of black mold by just using household products?
Please be careful cleaning up black mold and use some breathing protection. Here is some info I found: LIMIT HEALTH RISK FROM TOXIC MOLD Exposure to mold spores can occur during clean-up procedures. Accordingly, those who might experience adverse health effects from exposure to mold should not involve themselves in the cleanup process. 1. Wear a medium-efficiency or high-efficiency filter dust mask or a respirator designed for particle removal to protect against the inhalation of mold spores. 2. Wear protective clothing that covers all areas of the body including hands and eyes. Protective clothing should not be worn outside the work area. 3. Only persons involved in the cleanup process should be allowed in the cleanup area. 4. Work in short intervals – rest in a fresh air location. CONTAINMENT Toxic mold spores can become airborne during the cleaning. Before cleanup begins, the affected area should be contained and HVAC systems should be shut down to prevent the spores from spreading.
