Mold Damage Cleanup: What NOT to do

5/11/2018 (Permalink)

Mold damage can happen at any time, but especially during these summer months. The weather is warming up and mold spores are coming out of hiding. Many people want to automatically turn to bleach to try and clean up the mold by themselves. It's always best to call a professional, so you don't spread the mold spores. 

Here are a few reasons that bleach is not a good option for your next mold damage cleanup: 

1. Bleach is toxic. 
2. Bleach loses effectiveness overtime. 
3. Bleach does not kill mold on porous surfaces and can actually contribute to mold growth.  

It's always best to let the professionals do the dirty work --call your local SERVPRO® of Pike, Floyd, & Knott Counties because we are here to help!
