It can be a tricky process to learn how to remove the mold damage yourself, which is why we put together some of our DIY mold removal tips and tricks while showing you how a professional mold remediation company such as Rhode Island Restoration, can remove the mold fast and easy.
DIY Mold Removal – Should You Clean It?
If you are the type of person to do restoration work yourself, you may find that there are many benefits of DIY mold removal techniques. For one, if the mold just started growing, and you can identify the source of the damage, you will be able to remove it quickly. Homeowners who want to take care of themselves can use a mixture of bleach and water. This will surely kill mold on contact with the bleach and thoroughly clean the spot of any other possible growth.

DIY Tip – Mold Remediation:
If you are going to be removing the mold yourself, to protect yourself from the hazardous particles, be sure to wear protective equipment. Most protective equipment professional mold remediation companies use is very expensive, which is why if there are more than several spots of mold, we recommend stopping the DYI process and calling a restoration company.

At this point, DIY is out of the question, it’s time to call a professional mold remediation company.

A lot of the problem when it comes to DIY mold removal is that most of the time, that one spot you thought was all the mold, is just one of many mold spores.
Side note – just wiping away the spot does not take care of the original source of the damage.
