About Mold
Areas which are prone to mold build-up include highly absorbent areas and materials which are porous. This includes carpets, carpeting materials, and ceiling tiles. Many of these materials would need to be thrown away once they become moldy. Mold becomes difficult or even nearly impossible to remove completely because the mold will fill areas with the porous materials. In the most conducive environments mold can grow quickly and will soon fill empty spaces.
It is important to lessen exposure to mold by both yourself and those around you. In trying to do this it is important to not caulk or paint over moldy surfaces. In order to properly treat moldy surfaces, it is vital that you first clean the area of all molds and make sure that the surface you want to work on has completely dried. Not following the proper procedures can lead to you paint peeling.
Should you wish to treat an area or items which have significant sentimental value and find yourself unsure of how to go about this, you may want to think about consulting a mold specialist to conduct an mold inspection and for additional assistance. By doing searches in local directories you will quickly be able to find a specialist who deals in cleaning and repairing mold on furniture. These specialists will also be able to assist with the restoration of items which have been left damaged due to mold and the conservation of antique items which are prone to damage from mold. It is important to always ask for contactable references when dealing with anyone who claims to have knowledge of the restoration of mold-damaged furniture.
