FAQ

Mold is a fungus that can grow both inside and out. While no one knows precisely how many different kinds of molds exist, some estimates put the number at three hundred thousand! Mold thrives in damp environments with high humidity levels- which means youโ€™ll find it mostly anywhere from your kitchen cupboard to outside on grassy areas near water sources like lakes or riversides.

Mold is not just one color. It can be any combination of brown, greenish gray, or yellow with black pepper-like specks throughout its surface to give it an appearance like leathery skin.

Though it may seem like a good idea to use bleach when cleaning up mold, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) advise against this because bleaching can kill off any live cells present in your homeโ€™s HVAC system or other places where there are visible spores. Dead mold still has adverse effects on those who are inside of its territory since theyโ€™ll be exposed both emotionally and physically as well! Soap will do more than enough work at washing away unwanted dirt from surfacesโ€“allowing you time outside scrubbing too if needed.

It can grow nearly anywhere with enough moisture and perfect conditions. Each mold species has its optimum pH balance which may vary depending on where they live- from very acidic to Basic (alkaline). However, all molds require either warm or cool temperatures along side humidifying over 75%.

The human body is home to around 20% of people who are sensitive enough that even small amounts will make them sick. However, the rest can still experience an increased level if theyโ€™re exposed for too long in high-concentration areas with Mold present.
