How to Effectively Remove Mold from the House

Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe away the mold and cleaning solution.
Rinse the area with water and dry thoroughly with a clean towel.
6. Dispose of Contaminated Materials:
Seal and discard heavily mold-infested porous materials (e.g., drywall, carpet) that cannot be salvaged.
Prevent Mold from Returning:
1. Control Humidity:
Keep indoor humidity levels between 30%–50%.
Use a dehumidifier in damp areas like basements.
2. Improve Ventilation:
Open windows, use exhaust fans, and ensure proper airflow in your home.
Install ventilation fans in bathrooms and kitchens.
3. Fix Leaks:
Repair leaky pipes, roofs, and windows promptly to prevent moisture buildup.
4. Regular Cleaning:
Clean and disinfect mold-prone areas like bathrooms and kitchens weekly.
Dry wet surfaces immediately.
When to Call a Professional:
If mold covers an area larger than 10 square feet or is growing inside walls or HVAC systems, hire a mold remediation expert.
By following these steps, you can effectively remove mold from your home and create a healthier living environment. 🌱✨
