When coming across mold it is imperative you call professionals to properly create procedures to dispose of it.
No matter how large or small, mold releases allergens that can create a hazardous environment. Here are a couple tips to ensure your property is safe:
DO NOT agitate the mold. Attempting to wipe or clean will bring up spores into the environment.
DO NOT turn on any fans or a/c in the affected area. This will also spread spores around the environment. If you must turn on the a/c or fan, make sure the affected area is in an air tight containment.
