Basic mold cleanup - SunHerald.com, MS
Info from www.hud.gov: It is important not to touch mold with your bare hands or breathe mold spores; some people may be allergic. In some cases, mold can trigger asthma. When cleaning mold, use a weak solution of water and bleach and protect yourself by wearing long sleeves, pants, shoes, rubber gloves, goggles and mask. For more extensive mold growth (greater than 10 square feet), consult a professional experienced in mold cleanup.
Info from www.epa.gov: The key to mold control is moisture control. Drying water-damaged areas and items within 24-48 hours prevents mold growth. Wash mold off hard surfaces with detergent and water, and dry completely. Absorbent materials (such as ceiling tiles and carpet) should be replaced.
