DETECTING MOLD
Preparing the affected site
What's next?
From the Surface:
To remove mold from the surface, mix chlorine with water in a ratio of 8:1 and fill it into a spray bottle. Generously spray the solution on the affected surface and let it sit for 10 minutes. It is advisable to leave the room during this time and return after the specified duration.
After 10 minutes, use a rag to rub off the mold from the surface. Start with back-and-forth motions, applying vigorous effort to remove the mold. Once the mold begins to loosen, switch to a gentler pace and circular motions. This will help collect the mold at the sides. Then, use a thick microfiber cloth to wipe the surface clean.
Ensure that you avoid direct contact with the cleaning solution and follow all precautionary measures as mentioned on the product label. Do not leave the solution on the surface for an extended period, as it may damage the floor. After applying the solution to eliminate the mold, promptly wipe it away to prevent staining.
Under the Surface:
Removing mold from beneath the surface requires more effort and technique. Begin by removing the affected flooring to expose the mold. Ensure that all affected areas are removed to prevent regrowth.
After removal, position a fan to dry any moisture on the flooring, directing the airflow out of the house and away from people. Leave the fan on until the area is completely dry, with the duration depending on the severity of the mold.
Once dry, apply a bleach solution generously to the area and leave it for ten minutes. Then, use a metal scraper to remove the mold. This step may require more effort due to the severity of the mold. After scraping off as much as possible, use sandpaper for manual removal, employing circular motions.
Once the area is clean, wipe it down thoroughly. The bleach solution will help prevent future mold growth. Ensure the area is completely dry before proceeding to the next step.
Finally, consult a flooring professional to replace the affected portion of the floor, completing the mold remediation process.
