Saving Certain Materials with Surface Cleaning Products
People in central California, such as Concord, enjoy good weather; however, this mild climate does not mean properties never face mold threats. Once mold and mildew appear on certain materials in a residence, structural issues follow. A healthy home depends on understanding which materials can be cleaned with surface remediation products and which might require replacement.
Materials That Surface Cleaning Strategies Can Help
While materials like drywall and carpeting might be too susceptible to mold damage in Concord homes, several common building materials can be saved when colonies form. Focused surface cleaning solutions are all some surfaces need to overcome mold exposure. Materials likely to respond well to this approach include:
-
Wood
Surface molds found on wood, such as framing, flooring, and furniture, can usually be successfully removed, preserving its integrity and aesthetics when cleaning begins promptly after discovery. Proper remediation involves a careful cleaning and drying process to avoid future growth.
-
Tile and Grout
Bath, kitchen, and floor tiles often have grout. When unsealed, these substrates can harbor mold if conditions are damp. However, they are usually durable and resistant, able to withstand even abrasive chemicals and eradicate surface mold on grout lines.
-
Painted Walls
If the mold is caught early, it can typically be cleaned without repainting, using safe and effective mold cleaners that do not damage the paintwork. If resurfacing is necessary, we will utilize a mold-resistant primer underneath the paint to prevent recurrence.
