Call Our San Marcos CA Mold Restoration Company at the First Sight of Mold

Mold is one of those things that instantly makes you cringe. It’s fuzzy, unsightly, and smelly. Just the thought of it potentially making you sick is good enough to keep you away from it. And, often, homeowners don’t want to have to clean it up on their own. For one, the idea of touching mold, even with gloves on, is intimidating. For two, homeowners often worry that they won’t be able to properly eradicate it. It might look completely gone, but tiny particles might still be lurking. Ick!

Regardless of who ends up taking care of the mold, one thing stands true: it must be done properly and with caution.

What Not to Do When You Find Mold

Upon spotting mold, one of the worst things you can do is touch it. It might be fuzzy, but it most certainly isn’t a cute, friendly kitty cat. It’s also important to never sleep, or let a family member sleep, in a room that has a case of mold, especially when the room is small and enclosed (e.g., with the door shut). Generally, mold is something you want to stay clear of as much as possible.

As another word of caution, our team urges you that if you attempt to resolve the mold situation on your own that you refrain from using chlorine bleach as it’s not an EPA-approved biocide.

Another thing: never assume mold will just “go away on its own.” We all want to believe that problematic things such as mold will just disappear into thin air. The truth is, failing to do something about mold or continuously putting off its removal will only lead to a bigger, more serious issue.
