Home Remedy To Get Rid Of Mold
1. To prevent or remove mold in basement, camper or any high moisture area. Place one or more buckets of rock salt in
areas where moisture is high. The rock salt will absorb most of the moisture.
2. Mix chlorine bleach with 50% water and scrub with brush. Repeat cleaning again in two weeks. Bleach may cause staining.
Be sure to test a samll area first.
Be sure moisture problem has been eliminated or mold will continue to grow back.
Mold, which belongs to the fungi family (small organisms that cause rot, mold, and plant disease) can be
found lurking in your crawl space, basement, attic, or any place in your home where there is a moisture problem. Like termites
and ants molds are living organisms that thrive in wet,damp and moist areas of your house and will cause wood rot. In
the United States mold does more damage in homes than insects such as termites and ants do. Many types of mold can become
toxic. These toxins that can be found in the air are called mycotoxins. The most common colors of molds are black,
white, and green and all can be toxic if found in large amounts.The key to killing mold is moisture and humidity control.
Preventing Mold
Repair all water leaks.
If you have a dirt floor in your crawl space, be sure and cover it with plastic.
Be sure your crawlspace is well vented. Most building codes require this.
WARNING:
If standing water, flooding, or leaking has occurred in your home be sure and have the area tested for
mold using a mold test kit
