Mold Remediation Process, Abatement, Clean up

When it comes to remediating mold it's always best to hire a professional mold removal and remediation service.

However, if the mold in your home is not toxic and the area of mold growth is small (less than 10 square feet, or the equivalent of roughly a 3 by 3 foot patch) then you can perform the mold remediation yourself if you wish.

This is why you should wear protective clothing and equipment while performing mold remediation.

Protective equipment for mold remediation includes:

You also need to minimize dust as mold spores often stick to dust and are then transported around your home by the dust particles.

After this use a solution to remove the mold from the surface. Different solutions will work better for different surfaces.

The Mold Removal page describes how to kill mold with several solutions such as:

For porous materials (eg drywall, carpet, books) that have had mold growing on them you should decide whether they are salvageable on a case by case basis depending on how severe the mold growth is and how valuable the item is to you. If the item is not highly valuable to you and the mold growth is extensive so that the item is beyond repair then the best option is to dispose of it and replace it.

You should clean each room one at a time, completely finishing the mold removal process before moving onto any other rooms with mold growth and re-sealing and repeating the process.
