What to Wear and What to do During Mold Removal

Having mold inside the house or building is a big health hazard if the contamination becomes severe. The need for mold removal after finding that your area has molds is very important because mold spores might be already in the air and floating. Mold spores or even toxic mold spores can't be normally seen unless you use a microscope for it. But needless to say, the need for an immediate mold removal is important for the safety of those inhibiting the area.

At the same time having the proper know-how in the removal process is crucial. Your safety and your environment should be the top concern by gearing your self and sealing the affected areas you can eliminate mold spores to spread out, thus, eliminating the possibility of molds to pass on.

It is important that while in the contaminated area and doing mold removal, the worker should wear efficient protective wear. Examples of this are painter's coveralls; biohazard suits that you can buy in safety stores or just your old long sleeve shirt and pants. Just wear old clothes during mold removal since after the work is done, it is recommended to dispose your items since they have the possibility to carry mold spores.

You will also need disposable latex hand gloves that extend to the middle of the forearm, booties and a one piece, full face breathing mask. Full face breathing mask should be properly worn and to do it, follow the instructions carefully. If you do not have a full face breathing mask, you can wear goggles. The recommended goggles to be used in mold removal are the type that doesn't have ventilation holes. This is to avoid mold or mold spores getting into your eyes.

When doing mold removal, spray the affected area twice, using a hand-pumped garden spray. It is necessary not to have anyone inside the affected room but only the person doing the mold removal. Remove all furniture in the room and fog the empty room. Clean and disinfect the furniture before putting it back. After this do the process of fogging the room but now together with the furniture inside the room. This process will kill the mold on the furniture itself.

An important reminder for mold removal is to not use chlorine bleach to kill mold or disinfect moldy areas. Bleach doesn't bring a lasting solution to mold growth and mold spores.

After killing all visible molds on surfaces, the next thing to do is to take away and clean off mold stains, growth and odor as much as you can. Even if you have already killed the mold, it is still necessary to remove the mold because it could still create allergic reactions. Scrub and thoroughly clean and disinfect the affected areas and surfaces, including furniture and appliances. Use a detergent, a mold cleaner and water. After cleaning the affected items and areas, thoroughly dry the items you have disinfected. Dispose the rags and sponge that was used in cleaning.
