How to Remove Black Mold

Mold is everywhere. Its spores float in the air, being wafted about until they finally land somewhere. Most of us think of mold as being something like that gray-black fuzzy stuff that grows on cheese left too long in the refrigerator. No problem removing black mold, just throw it out. But it is not always as simple as that.

In reality, mold is serious stuff. Breathing-in its spores can make you sick, even kill you. The most common form of mold is stachybotrys chartarum, a kind of black mold which also happens to be the most deadly. That's the type of mold that is commonly found in damp places like your bathroom. It is important to make sure that your bathroom stays mold-free.

Bathrooms, kitchens, basements, boats and recreational vehicles; all are places that people frequent and where mold may grow. Wherever people go, they breathe. Wherever there is mold, there are mold spores. If you or others in your family breathe in mold spores in any sizable quantity, you are opening the door to serious health problems and other troubles.

Also, mold, when left alone, can do serious structural damage to your home or boat. It eats and destroys almost any organic material such as wood or fabric. In time it can completely destroy it. Once-strong floors can can be eaten away until they suddenly cave in. Walls can give way and crumble. Lots of that happens after a flood. It can happen without flooding if moisture is present for a longish time.

You can remove mold, of course. To remove black mold correctly and safely requires that the one doing the mold removal know how to do it right and what safety precautions to take. It also requires knowing how to kill mold to remove it permanently, so that it doesn't come right back.

Given that you've got a problem with mold, there are two options. You can contract a professional mold-abatement company to come out, inspect, clean up and repair any damage. This works well but tends to cost a lot.

Tha other way is to do it yourself. That's easy and economical, if you know what you are doing and don't mess it up from ignorance or inexperience. If you are going to do mold removal yourself, take the time first to take a quick training course in the "how's" and "how not's" of mold abatement and black mold removal.

That way you will know all about removing black mold safely and permanently. Taking the time to educate yourself on the subject first will pay huge dividends. This will enable you to get the job done without putting yourself or your family in danger.
