How to Get Rid of Mold Growth in Your Home
Mold is all around us. It can be on fabric, shoes, books, tile, home appliances, walls, ceilings, etc. Mold spores can grow on almost any surface regardless of the weather conditions. There are two major ways of getting rid of the mold growth inside your home. If the mold is limited to a very small area, and is only on the surface, then you possibly can clean it yourself using mold cleaning products. However, if it covers a larger area or is possibly not merely on the surface, you will need to hire a professional.
Using Mold Cleaning Products
If you are facing a problem of mold growth in your home, you can use many mold cleaning products including bleach, vinegar, soda or a product purchased at a local hardware store. One detail to ensure you understand is that these products do not “kill” mold and more often than not the mold comes back with a vengeance. Also using these products you should be cautious. It is advised to use rubber gloves to avoid any reaction on the skin.
Removing mold from a structure is often time a task that is not handled well by a homeowner. There are many details and issues that are not commonly understood that need to be considered before this type of job is taken on.
Hiring a Professional
If there is mold in your home, you should definitely seek help from a professional. Mold can be highly toxic and a danger to your health. They can lead to severe respiratory problems, headaches, as well as many other health issues. But not all molds are dangerous to everyone. Even if molds are not dangerous, the presence of mold can lead to allergic conditions and respiratory issues, including asthma.
In case there is no apparent growth of molds, it is possible to have hidden growth of molds in your HVAC systems, around the windows, in the attic and even in your basement or crawlspace. You might not see it but you certainly notice the smell of moisture and dampness in your home. If you suspect a hidden mold problem, have your house inspected by a professional water damage restoration company.
