WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BLACK MOLDUnderstanding black mold is the key to preventing it and protecting your family.Black mold is a potentially dangerous substance that can make you and your family sick. Keeping the mold away is simple, and getting rid of it should be done with caution. Identifying Black MoldBlack mold likes to grow and live in areas with a lot of moisture. If your house is humid, there is a leak, or there is standing water then there is a potential for black mold growth. Most people will first notice black mold based on it's appearance or it's smell. The mold is known for giving off a musty odor. A testing kit will help you to find the mold in the air, but these can be unreliable. Instead, you should look for areas where there might be excessive moisture.Getting Rid of Black MoldThe first step in getting rid of black mold is fixing any leaks and getting rid of excess moisture in the house. A dehumidifier works well for that job. This will make the conditions in the house unfavorable for the mold, and help to prevent it from returning.Next, you want to clean up all traces of the mold that are already present. Mix _ to _ cups of bleach to one gallon of water. Use this to clean walls, baseboards, pipes, or any other affected areas. Be sure that you use cleaning supplies that you can throw away when you are done with them. If areas of the carpet have been affected, then it might be a good idea to replace them. It will be hard to completely clean the carpet without damaging it. It would be wise to wear gloves and a mask when cleaning so that you are protected from excess exposure to the mold and it's spores.Harmful Effects of Black MoldNot all black mold is toxic, but it can cause health issues. Black mold releases spores into the air which can affect people who have an allergy or have respiratory problems. For most people, the effects of black mold exposure will present themselves with similar symptoms to a sinus infection. More severe effects can be nose bleeds and coughing up blood. Usually these symptoms will go away once the area is cleaned and the black mold is removed. Prolonged exposure to toxic black mold is potentially fatal, but rare.
