DIY mold removal or hire a professional?

DIY anything sounds so good and looks like it would save you lot of money, doesn’t it? In case of general mold that is present in a small amount, DIY mold removal is ideal. However, in case of severe mold it is quite not the right solution.

Let’s see how and when you can use DIY mold removal techniques:

When you have a less than 10 sq.ft big mold that is non-toxic kind, you can proceed to take care of it on your own. Soap, elbow grease and water can help you get rid of regular non-toxic mold that isn’t yet spread wide enough. If the mold is stubborn, make a solution of 1:9 bleach to water and spray it in the mold area to wipe after a while.

But, this can be a tedious sport. You’d sure have better things to do than go looking for spores and moisture issues and trying to fix it all. Therefore, prevention is needed. Condensation can foster mold growth, so always open a window or run your bathroom fan after hot shower. Make sure to dry tiles surrounding the used sink including the sink itself after washing dishes or using water. Your basement is one of the most mold prone areas in your household, so remember to periodically dry and clean them. Here are some of the major causes of mold in household:

  • Bathrooms that have poor ventilation, tile grout lines and shower ceilings especially.
  • Mudroom sinks and kitchen area
  • Thresholds of exterior doors
  • Sump pumps and basement near hot water heaters
