Black Mold

Some molds are more dangerous than others. For example, black mold is the most toxic. It burrows into porous materials and may cause serious infections. Unlike many other household fungi, black mold is difficult to remove. In fact, it’s one of the most expensive molds to remediate.

Mold Spores

Mold spores are airborne, which means they are easily tracked into the home. Open windows, doors, and shoes can all contribute to mold spores contaminating the air.

To avoid spreading the spores around the house, remove wet and moldy materials and dispose of them in plastic bags. Wipe the bags with a damp cloth and a detergent solution. If possible, tie the bags closed.

Keeping the indoor temperature above 100 degrees F can kill most molds. While this is not a sure-fire way to get rid of all mold, it can help eliminate the most hazardous types.
