Mold grows from the ceiling of a palmetto North bathroom. Residents have

reported mold growing in vents.

On Monday Nov. 1, Andre Bridges, an 18-year-old education student from D.C.,

began feeling sick and took on a disturbing cough.

About a week ago, someone posted something suggesting bleach that also said

to wet the mold down good before you used it so the spores don't go

flying. Talked about the need for gloves, masks, etc. That seems logical to

me

if one has a semi- large/small area of mold. Does that seem right to

anyone else?

If spores fly from spraying mold with bleach they will also fly from spraying it

with water. Or most other liquids.

It's not what is sprayed. It's the spraying.

This topic created HUGE controversy during development of S520 because of

different meaning of words and critical subtleties of how it is sprayed and when

and the type of situation.

you get a disposable paint brush and use a sealer.  Like gluing it down and

sealing it so it can't move or shoot out spores

I find that any kind of cleaning (cutting the mold out, bleaching) causes some

sort of lasting irritation. I don't think you can stop spores from flying

100%-something always gets through. But you have to get rid of the mold so it's

the price you pay. Always try to contain the cleaning-plastic draped around

area, doors closed, masks on!

I have learned not to freak out after I have eliminated a mold issue and still

feel bad. I know that if the mold is really gone, symptoms will disappear within

a few days.

Is ammonia as effective in killing spores as bleach?  I have used ammonia for

washing smelling clothes from a moldy environment & they came out smelling great

and do not bother me.

I don't think this is a very good idea unless containment measures are in place.

The simple act of applying an encapsulant or bleach to the affected surfaces

will disturb and release millions of spores, toxins, etc. into the air. If the

area is small, a better option would be to apply an adhesive backed plastic over

the affected area prior to cutting out the affected substrate (such as drywall).

Disposable floor covering should be in place below the affected surface. Use a

hand tool for cutting and cut several inches beyond the protective plastic.

Keep in mind that the backside could be more contaminated than the front side.

Therefore be prepared to bag at the point of removal. HEPA-vacuum and damp wipe

the adjacent areas. Personal protective equipment (PPE) to include gloves,

coveralls, goggles, and respirator should be worn.

A lot of people are affected very badly by using anything like bleach to clean

up mold. I have found this out the hard way. Anything except gently soap will

irritate the mold and it will respond by putting out by-products in a gas that

you will then be unable to clean up. I have said this so many times I am tired

of it. Also hopefully, not using the words KILL, TOXIN, FIGHT BACK , will

curtail the usual responses by the pros on this board, who usually want to tell

me I don't know what I am talking about. Those who have been so affected know

what I am talking about.
