Mold, although a common occurrence, is often subjected to a number of myths and hypes which are not true, to say the least. Mold Removal is imperative, if mold exists in a set up but, most of the times it is not as simple as a DIY project. Check out these facts.
Molds come in different colors
Contrary to popular misconception, mold is not only “Black” in color and can come in white, green, blue or orange hues also. The color that a mold bears is directly related to the type of spores that are produced by it and not on the degree of danger that it projects.
The mold growing condition needs to be eliminated before Mold Removal
Many homeowners try removing molds by applying bleach, special paints or sealants. And most of the times they fail since mold thrives on moisture and trying to remove the mold without fixing the moisture problem can never really work. If there is a leakage problem or something like that which is triggering mold growth, it is essential to fix that before scraping away the mold.
Mold grows on all surfaces
Some people believe that mold usually grows on organic materials which are prone to moisture absorption like wood/food. But in actuality, mold can thrive on any kind of surface, even glass. And yes, mold does not necessarily grow amidst dirt and mess. Mold only needs moisture to grow and a squeaky clean moist environment can also produce it. Most of the times, mold grows in hidden areas and the spores released from it float around freely to disturb the health and existence of the inhabitants.
Mold Removal is best done professionally
Mold Removal can be best done by professionals who take a moisture test with special tools to assess the wetness of a place and then chalk out an elimination plan accordingly.
