Everyone is faced with mold at some point in time. Whether you are a first time home owner, a renter of an apartment or even just a sub letter, at some point you will deal with mold. It may come in the form of pink dots on your bathtub after failing to rinse your shower and tub properly after bathing.

Maybe it will be a ring around your tub drain. Possibly you will notice dark circles up on the wall high above your stove or oven. Maybe it’s a few dark spots in the paint around your windows. The following are tips for removing mold that you can use to fight that irritating bacteria.

Try to keep your home as dry as possible. Make sure that your vents and windows are not allowing moisture into the home. Mold breeds in moist areas. The tub and shower are popular areas to see mold growth. Taking care to keep your vents clean and dry will go a long way to preventing mold and making it harder for whatever spores do get in to really take hold.

Do not ever try to handle black mold yourself. If your mold problem is extreme (and anything that seeps into the walls or fixtures of your home is extreme) you need to throw in the towel and call a professional. Anything that requires a long time is too complex for you deal with. Black mold should especially be handled by only experienced people in this area.

Besides, once it has gotten into your home, you can’t just clean up harmful mold with bleach. That’s when a professional exterminator or mold specialist needs to be consulted to save your home. There are so many different methods for getting rid of mold. The best technique for choosing a treatment method is to determine where or what the mold is attacking before you decide what to treat it with. What the item is will play a role in deciding which of the above methods to use in treating it.
