Determine the spots where the molds are growing

Molds can be everywhere. It grows in places with favorable moisture and comfortable temperature (between 40-100 degrees F). 

The most visible sort of mold is mildew. It begins with tiny black spots and growing in the colony. This stuff is commonly observable in grout lines of your shower, damp walls and outdoor surface.

A mildew a surface-growing type of mold that will not cause any damage to your home structures. However, some types can cause rotting. But if the mildew is growing in a wooded area, remove the mildew with a screwdriver or any sharp tool. If the wood is softened and crushes, then the fungi are already penetrating to the wood structure, and you better change it. 

Large infestations require precautious work

Scrubbing is one way to remove the mold in bathrooms, decks, and sidings with the use of bleach or water mold cleaning solution. Often, molds can grow and spread in places that hardly notice until you observe staining spots or detect smells.

• Wear clothes and shoes that you can easily wash or throw away after cleaning if necessary.
• Wear special respirators (N-95 or P-100).
• Use goggles and gloves
• Set ventilation while working using an old box fan or a cheap new one in a window to ventilate the room while cleaning. Tape cardboard around the window openings to prevent the spores from coming back and stimulate growth. 
• Wrap and moldy tape carpeting in 6-mil plastic
• double-bag mold-infested debris in garbage bags for disposal
• Moisten the moldy spot with a garden sprayer while you work to control the spores
• Turn off your heater and air conditioner and cover channels and doors to cover spores.
• Keep your wet/dry vacuum outdoor when you vacuum.

Open up moldy walls

Cut and trim the baseboards and contaminated areas. Clean the stained-spot of the wall with the use of a screwdriver. Check any moisture and hidden mold.

Moisten and keep the moldy materials in the bag

When cutting the wall, be cautious in locating the wires. Avoid cutting the electrical wires. Mist the rotten drywall with the pump sprayer to avoid spreading of spores.  Avoid spreading the spores by keeping them into a sealed bag and dispose of properly.
