mold is a troublesome problem. mold is there because of mold spores in the air. No dwelling is immune to this, but some houses inhibit the growth of mold. Mold survives on moisture. Mold needs moisture to live. Once an infestation is started eradicating the problem is difficult and can be done. Bleach has no effect on mold. Imagine mold to be like a virus. Get rid of the root problem and get rid of the infestation. Make sure your house is bone dry. Make use of a vacuum with a HEPA filter and vacuum up any signs of mold, black and green. Covering up mold with paint doesn't work. Enlist the services of your local extension services to help you.
