Clean Toxic Mold From Home
- Protect yourself by wearing rubber gloves and a N-95 respirator. Mold spores can be very dangerous to humans when cleaning.
- Open windows to allow enough ventilation to be circling through the home when cleaning. Use a dehumidifier to remove any moisture in the air. Mold thrives in warm and damp areas.
- Pour 1 cup bleach and ½ of laundry detergent to a gallon of water. Pour your solution in a spray bottle. Shake the solution so all parts are mixed together. Apply the solution to the surfaces that are affected with the mold.
- Allow the solution to sit for approximately 15 minutes. Remove the solution by wiping or scrubbing the area with scrub brush.
- Allow the surface to air dry completely before using.
