Without a mold assessment, you will never know if black mold is the cause of illness in your home.

Areas of your home with relative humidity above 55% that are subject to temperature fluctuations are perfect conditions for toxic mod growth. Those with chronic exposure to toxic mold reported cold, diarrhea, hair loss, and a general feeling of malaise. The toxins produced by mold suppress your immune system affecting the lymphoid tissue and the bone marrow.

Did you know that animals injected with the toxin from mold were shown to exhibit some serious health conditions? The animals showed signs of: necrosis and hemorrhage within the brain, thymus, spleen, intestine, lung, heart, lymph node, liver and kidney. The mycotoxin is also reported to be a liver and kidney carcinogen.

Cleaning Mold With Bleach - Does It Work?

Many New Jersey homeowners attempt to remove the mold in their home with bleach. A very common mold removal question we receive is, “Does cleaning mold with bleach really work? Does bleach not only remove the mold, but does it kill the mold?”

Bleach and Mold Removal

Using a rag and some bleach to remove mold does NOT work. Fact is, all you are doing is making the mold air-born, meaning the mold will go from the location you are cleaning and attach itself to somewhere else.

The only way to completely remove black mold/toxic mold from your home is to retain the services of a professional mold removal service.
