How To Remove Mold

If you have mold in an area less than 10 feet wide you may be able to remove it yourself. You can take the following steps if it seems like it a small area particularly in a bathroom or a kitchen area.

1) Wear a face mask, goggles, and rubber gloves. (do not touch the mold)

2) Seal off the area and open windows and seal off the all ac and heating vents.

3) Wash it with regular soap then add some bleach and re-wash it again.

4) After it dried you can wash it again with borate based cleaning solution.

If you have mold that covers a larger area or need to have it identified or cleaned by a professional or would like more information you can go to: www.epa.gov/mold.
