The main challenge of removing mold is not in the removal itself. Removing mold is a quick and easy process; however, eliminating mold spores and cleaning mold stains are not fast and simple tasks. After mold is removed, the spores may still be left behind. These spores can settle and regrow, which causes a mold problem to start again. Some commercial products that "kill" mold do not address the associated spores; therefore, these products are ineffective at permanent elimination.Non-Machine Washable MaterialsMold can be removed from non-machine washable materials by using lemon juice, vinegar or a bleach-and-water solution. The best removal method for floors and walls is wetting a dry cloth with the mold-eliminating liquid and blotting the affected area. Some air filters are designed to catch mold spores. Using one of these air filters can prevent mold spores from traveling to other areas. Several days of constantly running an air filter should remove remaining spores from the air. Moldy furniture should be cleaned outdoors and allowed to sit in the sun long enough to kill the spores.Machine Washable MaterialsWhen washable materials, such as clothing or bedsheets, become moldy, they can be put in a washing machine along with one cup of vinegar. After washing, they should be put in a clothes dryer on the highest heat setting. This will ensure that all mold spores are eliminated.Severe Mold CasesWhen moldy walls or floors are severely covered with mold, the portions with mold should be removed. After the backing is allowed to dry, replacement material can be installed. This approach is ideal when mold has been purposely covered.

Although commercial stain removers are usually effective, they must first be tested on an inconspicuous are to ensure the solution will not create additional stains. For unsightly stains on walls, the stain can be coated with a primer and repainted if there is no mold recurrence within the following several months after mold removal.
