Mold must be removed by a licensed mold remediation contractor. Mold Spores are extremely small and will be made airborne when disturbed. If the moldy material is only removed, mold is still within the air and attaching to other surfaces. Proper mold removal includes but not limited to: Plastic containment walls, spore suppression, air filtration, antimicrobial solutions, encapsulation, and personal protective equipment. Before mold is cleaned and removed, samples should be taken to determine the type of mold currently in the home.

Over the counter cleaners such as Bleach, Peroxide, Zepp Products etc. are not effective in treating airborne spores. Mold removal requires more than just a cleaning solution.
