I got Mold Now What?
Natural Mold Killing Products
Mold spores can invade the home very easily and once they do they can reproduce very fast. If you do not react to this very fast you home could be overrun with mold to the point you may have to leave the home to have it remediated. Mold spores, once airborne can spread to anywhere. The mold spores attach themselves to anything. Shoes, clothes, walls, anything that comes within contact can carry the mold spores to its final destination. All these mold spores need to survive is moisture, a dark cool area, and a little bit of sunlight. Once the mold spores spread its only a matter of time for when they take over the area and begin to move on to other areas of the home. If you don’t have a good mold killer, this problem may get out of hand.
Have you ever wondered why some rooms in your home are very damp or smell very musty? Even though you get the carpet steam cleaned, the dampness and musty smell seem to go away for a month but after that month it seems to come back. These are the first signs that you may have yourself a little mold problem.
It is summer time here in South Florida and the temperatures here are averaging 92 degrees plus. The heat index alone is over 100 degrees. So I go ahead and have the a/c running on full blast during the day and then turn it down a notch at night when it is a little cooler. I noticed a little problem when I was walking down the hall and the carpet felt really wet by closet where the a/c unit and the water heater is kept. I opened up the door and i saw that there was a lot of moisture coming from the a/c unit but more importantly I noticed the walls were green and black because mold had started to reproduce and take over.
Mold Removers
I went ahead and looked on the information about how to kill mold and what kind of natural mold removal products were out there to help me with my little mold problem. I found out a lot more than I expected. I found out that if mold is not taken care of immediately it can cause upper respitory problems. This to me was all I needed to hear. I have a beautiful family and I didn’t realize how harmful this mold problem really was. I made it my mission to protect my families health and began to search for the best natural mold killing products out on the market today.
I found many natural mold killing products on the internet but the one that stood out to me was one mold killer that not only killed the mold but also incapsulated the mold to keep it from coming back in the future. I spoke to one of the mold specialists and they gave me a great description of how the product works. The gentleman said to picture a empty 2 litre bottle of soda. Drop a small rose in it and then tighten the cap. The rose was illustrating the mold. The bottle was the mold product. The bottle kept the rose encapsulated and kept air and moisture from getting to the rose. This helped me understand how the mold killing product encapsulates the mold and also how it keeps the area clean from mold ever coming back.
I was sold on this product so I ordered it. It only took 2 business days to recieve it. As soon as I recieved the product I went to work. I followed the directions and first lifted the carpet and dried all the effected areas as best as I could. I then sprayed the area with the natural mold killing product and let it sit for about 20 minutes. I scrubbed the area with a light brush that I usually use to clean my shower to lift the black mold. I then wiped the area again and cleaned off almost all of the mold. I couldn’t believe how easy it was to clean this mold and how easy the mold just lifted off the surface once the product took effect. I sprayed the area again just like the directions said to. This is now the encapsulation process. This was to prevent the mold from coming back. I placed the carpet back into its normal position and I was finished. The total time I would say was 1 hour max.
When dealing with mold you need to react fast to keep it from invading your whole home. If mold takes over your whole house then you will have to get a mold inspector to come and inspect the home and he or shee will give you an estimate of some amount of dollars to get it remediated. Save yourself some money and buy yourself some natural mold killers and protect your family from health problems in the future. I am so glad I know that my family is that much safer now that my little mold problem has been conquered.
