How can mold be prevented?


Elite Water Damage and Restoration



How can mold be prevented?

• After the water damage' The best way is to cleanup water and moisture sources. Fixing leaks, drying damp areas, and removing humidity from the air (e.g., using a dehumidifier in basements; cracking a window while taking a shower in bathrooms with no exhaust ventilation) will help stop mold growth and keep it from coming back.

How can I safely cleanup mold in my home?

• Use soap and water to clean small areas of mold (less than 10 square feet) on walls or other hard surfaces as soon as you see it. • Wear waterproof gloves. • Dry the cleaned area completely. • If the mold returns quickly or spreads, there may be an underlying problem such as a water leak. To stop mold, water problems must be fixed. • If large areas of mold are present, you may need a professional mold abatement company. Check the phone book for mold abatement contractors.

    What cleans moldy furniture and other items?
    http://elitewaterdamage.com

    For wood, metal, plastic, glass, ceramics, and other objects that don't absorb water but are washable - wipe them with a solution of lukewarm water and laundry detergent.
    For clothes, bedding, and other materials that absorb water and are washable - wash them in the laundry.
    For beds, sofas, and other furniture that absorb water but are not washable - these items may need to be discarded. Or, try to save them by vacuuming well and allowing to air out. If there is no odor it may be okay. Mold can come back, so watch for any mold growth or mold related health problems. Discard the item if you suspect mold is growing inside or outside the item.
