How can I clean mold from the building structures and materials upon which it grows?
Mold can be cleaned/removed from structures, but the process can be complex. Because both dormant or dead mold spores are just as harmful as live or living mold spores, one should not merely apply bleach or other substances in an attempt to kill the mold. Instead, the mold spores need to be removed by HEPA vacuuming. In addition, cleaning mold and mold spores from surfaces in areas which are not properly “contained” can lead to mold spreading to other areas. Therefore, with areas of visible mold it is recommended that the client contact a qualified mold remediation company. Structural mold cleaning/remediation involves the removal of mold and mold laden building materials.
