“In our Army, it’s about People First and the care and quality of life for our Soldiers and their families is always forefront in our minds. We’re investing in our barracks and housing to give our Soldiers and families the quality of life that’s equal to the quality of their service.”

General James C. McConville, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army.

What is it?

What is it?

Mold picture.jpgMOLD - A naturally occurring microscopic fungi that can grow on indoor and outdoor surfaces. Mold can live in all environments, climates, and seasons but requires oxygen, moisture, and a nutrient source to grow. The types of molds and their abundance in an area depend on the availability of nutrients like dirt, water, and temperature. Molds grow well on cardboard, ceiling tiles, paper, and wood products.
MILDEW- A general term used to refer to certain kinds of mold or fungus that typically grow in a flat growth pattern and found on shower walls, windowsills, and other places with high moisture levels.
BLACK/TOXIC MOLD - A generic term used to refer to toxigenic molds, or molds that produce mycotoxins. This term typically refers to the species stachybotrys chartarum, which can be identified in water damaged buildings.

How to clean it?

How to clean it?

Do not use bleach to clean mold. It is not effective at “killing” mold nor does it  remove it from the surface. A simple soap solution or disinfecting cleaner should be used.
Dampen areas prior to cleaning. Surface dusting should include the use of  cleaners to avoid sweeping mold and allergens   into the air.
Wash clothing. Items used during remediation should be washed as soon as possible after mold clean-up  is complete. 

 

General Purpose Cleaning Solution

•Light cleaning and surface mold: pour general purpose cleaner into gallon container and dilute to one gallon with water.
•If one gallon container is not available: pour about 1/4 of the bottle into a spray bottle contained in the Mold Buster Kit and dilute with water.
•Heavy mold growth or dirt: use in concentrated form directly from the bottle.  

Re-Growth

•If mold growth is present on a porous material surface cleaning may not remove all mold growth.
•Surface cleaning and sanitizing will not penetrate deep enough to kill all the hidden "root-like" parts of the mold colony, particularly if materials can not be adequately dried. 
•Mold contamination below the surface may indicate additional concerns and should be assessed by DPW personnel.
