Jan 14, 2021

Mold is one issue that all homeowners wish to avoid. However, if you are faced with mold- do not panic. There are many tips and techniques that can help you clean after discovering mold in your home. 

  1. Make sure to fix the problem immediately. Whether it was a plumbing leak or another water issue that caused mold to develop in your home, it is critical to fix the problem as soon as you discover it. This will help avoid further damage to occur. 
  2. Clean up the mold as soon as it is discovered. Once you discover mold in your home, make sure to clean it immediately. You may do so by scrubbing the affected area with cleaning detergent and water. If you are unsure about how to clean specific items, make sure to ask a professional. 
  3. Access the situation. Look at what has been infested with mold. You may be able to clean some of it, however other materials may have to be disposed of. If you are unable to do so yourself, have a professional assess the damage. Floors and ceilings may be especially susceptible to mold, and may be difficult or impossible to be cleaned completely. 
  4. Stay safe while cleaning. For your health and safety, it is important to limit your exposure to mold. While cleaning, you may want to consider wearing a mask, gloves, and goggles.
