Mold Removal and the Cleanliness of Food
The presence of molds within the environment is an ongoing process because mold spores are airborne everywhere and cannot be seen by the naked eye. Molds are significant in the natural cycle of the environment since they aid in the breakdown of organic materials. While molds are useful species in Mother Nature's territory, they certainly are not considered helpful by being present in homes and households. Hence mold removal procedures must be implemented once they are seen within or outside the house premises.
There are many types of molds and all of them cannot thrive and propagate without the presence of water or moisture. The source of moisture within the house could be traced to a crack in the ceiling, gutter or wall, a leaking pipe or a very recent flooding or sewage backup in basements. The sources mentioned above are just a few; however, the source must be taken care of in order to prevent moisture from creeping in and helping molds to settle down.
Mold removal is very important because aside from the damage it inflicts on furniture, fixtures and equipment, it also poses a great risk to some types of ailments that assail the human body. It usually affects the respiratory and immune system of a person which results in deterring that person from doing his normal activities once he is sick or ill. The presence of molds within a home could likewise affect the cleanliness of food as food preparation and cooking usually takes place in the kitchen where water and moisture are abundant.
Before cooking, make sure to clean the cooking materials before using them. Inspect chopping boards, kitchen counters and tiles for molds every now and then. Since molds thrive in water, do your best to dry everything as much as possible, otherwise mold will appear once moisture or wetness is left unattended. Always check on plastic food keepers and make sure that every food item is consumed properly on their expiration dates or best before dates. Once food has gone past its expiration date it is advisable to dispose of it. If molds appear on bread or any other types of food throw the food away and thoroughly clean the area where it was found.
Mold removal activities and procedures require proper paraphernalia and safety clothing. If you try to do mold removal activities in the kitchen, the first thing that must be done is to secure all the food containers that have lids or seals. Then don on your proper cleaning attire for the mold removal procedure like gloves, face mask and goggles. Brush all affected areas with soap and water. Add a bleaching agent to the mixture in order to have a more effective cleaning solution. The presence of molds in plain sight could be an indication that there are other molds hidden somewhere. Since you are currently doing the mold removal job, then you might as well just look for hidden spots that may contain molds.
Molds which reappear on the same spot after it has been cleaned calls for some drastic action like removing the spot where the molds reappeared and replacing it with a new one - an example of this is wall paper or a tile. But before deciding to do that, try to be patient and regularly apply a mold removal cleaning chemical for a week or two and see what happens.
