Removing Mold
If you have toxic or non-toxic mold infestation at home, you might be thinking of getting down to work and removing it. There are many ways in which you may do this. However, do keep in mind that it is always better to bring in expert help. Some of the ways in which mold can be removed are:
- If an unpainted dry wall has been infected, then it is better to remove the wall. Mold has roots that penetrate deep into the object on which it grows. An unpainted wall is porous and thus either has to be destroyed or you can also remove the particular infected part with a knife or any sharp tool. If the wall is painted, it means the mold will only be on the outer layer and can be eliminated with mold removal substances.
- If there is mold growth on a wood surface, it might be effortlessly uprooted by vigorous cleaning. However, this is not the case in toxic molds. Even if the wood is not ready or painted, the infiltrating mold could be left behind considering the moisture content be controlled.
- Mold enters deep inside the surface in case of carpets and rugs and may be present even if the surface looks clean and dry. There is moisture sometimes in the lower surfaces of carpets that provide the ideal home for molds. The infected areas of such floor coverings should be completely removed along with a margin of one foot on all sides. This will ensure complete eradication.
