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.

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.

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.
