Spring Cleaning

Spring has arrived in Tuscaloosa, and we are loving the sunshine and warmer weather!  While you are tackling your spring cleaning, it is important to look for any signs of mold growth that may have occurred.  Mold typically tends to grow in areas where this is a lot of moisture.  If not addressed quickly, mold can lead to respiratory and other health issues.  Check out the list below to see what to do if you find mold in your home.

Act promptly.  If you suspect mold growth, you need to address the issue immediately.  Call a professional mold remediation company to remove the mold.

Don’t use bleach.  Many people think that bleach will kill mold. It kills live mold; however, it does not kill the mold spores, and the mold could in fact grow back quicker when using bleach.

Use caution.  Mold can be very damaging to your health.  Be sure to wear gloves, safety goggles, and a mask when treating mold.

Fix the source of the moisture.  It is particularly important to find out what is causing high moisture levels in your home so you can prevent mold growth in the future.

Contact PuroClean of Tuscaloosa with any questions regarding mold growth in your home or business.  We have mold remediation experts that would be happy to discuss the process with you. Happy spring cleaning!
