If it walks like a duck….

And looks like a duck…..

This blog post is not so much about cleaning as it is about identifying dangerous mold. Of course eradicating mold as quickly as possible is essential but first, let’s talk about the threat they pose. Black mold is probably the most common and often detected by sight and smell. Black mold may smell musty or something like vegetables gone bad. If you smell mold but can’t see it look for water leaks or get a mold testing kit at your local hardware store.

Keep in mind that such a kit is not the cure-all because air fluctuates. Eliminating water leaks is imperative. Keep in mind also that molds can appear as different colors such as gray, light green, or black. When working around the mold or cleaning up mold be sure you protect yourself.
