How do I clean black mold?

How to get rid of black mold?

  • We are thinking of buying a new house, its a good house except for the basement has black mold on some of the walls. It's also on the floors a little bit too in the basement. The upstairs is good, no mold for what i see. The walls are cement, and wood. How do I get rid of the mold? Should i just demolish the whole basement so then we have an open basement. Would that get rid of all the mold too? How do i clean the mold off too? And if i do demolish it then i still have to clean or disinfect it right?

  • Answer:

    You have to first determine how the mold is getting in the home and stop it. This is important because even if you fix it the mold will jst come back. To get rid o the mold off the walls of the home you have to use a water and bleach solution. Scrub the mold off and let it dry. As long as the dampness is gone the mold shouldnt come back.

If you can only see black mould on some of the walls, then I assume your mould problem is not out of control just yet. First thing is to fix any potential moisture issues. If you have leaky pipes etc, then the mould will stay no matter what you do as mould requires moisture to grow. Second is to treat the mould with a proper fungicide. Bleach is not effective. It bleaches the mould white, but doesn't actually kill it, so when it continues to grow, it gets its colour back and your mould problem "reappears".
