With the often prohibitive costs and questionable results of professional mold treatment, more and more homeowners are looking for ways to take care of the mold problems themselves. If the mold is affecting an area of less than 10 square feet and your family does not include anyone who is too small or too large or immune to immunity, you can address the problem yourself if you are careful.
Do your homework
First, review the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) website and read the different levels of mold infestation and the levels of protection they need, both for you and the rest of your home. Mold spreads by sending millions of spores in the air. Annoying a mold infestation can send germs flying and make your problem worse and more widespread unless you seal off the area and protect yourself.
