BLACK MOLD REMOVAL
The removal of black mold is a process that takes time, a good protective gear.
- Remove the source of moisture from the affected area to prevent future attacks.

- Wear a facemask and cover all your body parts, this is to avoid contact with the mold spores.
- Using soapy water and sponge, remove the mold visible to the eye. When the moldy area is dry, spray it with water, this will reduce the future attacks.
