Where Does Mold Grow?

In case there is a moldy smell lingering around in your household then it is the indicator of molds being present inside your house. If the molds aren’t readily visible to the human eye, then a moldy smell is the best indicator for molds being present inside your house beyond your reach. The formation of molds can be anywhere from beneath your carpet to behind your wall and there is a good chance that you will neglect or miss the chance of noticing a mold even if you see it. You might even think of it as soot or a black spot on the wall of your house which can be devastating.

There are many ways of removing mold from various places such as carpets, dry walls; wooden objects etc. some of these ways are mentioned below:

• From Dry walls: If the wall is a dry wall and is currently unpainted then there is no other option for you than to cut off the affected part of the wall using a knife or a similar object. Dry wall is porous and hence the mold formation takes place inside the wall also so there is no way a person can remove the mold from this wall easily. If the wall is painted then through scrubbing is enough to scrub off the molds which are present on the surface of the wall.
• From Wooden objects: The molds developed on the surface of finished wooden surface can be simply wiped off as in the case of a painted dry wall, in case of unfinished or rough wood, the mold penetrates within but it can be removed from the surface and be contained from further developing inside the wood using various methods such as dehumidifying, cooling etc.
• From Carpets: You have to cut out the carpet affected with mold along with a margin of 6 to 10 inches in order to be sure that the molds have been properly removed. Usually carpets are thick and impossible to be dried perfectly and hence molds are formed inevitably on them.
