Mold can be a serious problem in any home, but it can be especially troublesome in crawl spaces. Here are some tips on how to clean mold in a crawl space:
- Remove all debris and furniture from the area. This includes anything that may have been contaminated by the mold.
- Use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter to remove all the mold spores from the area. Be sure to use enough suction to get deep into the cracks and crevices of the flooring and walls.
- Pour a solution of 1 cup of bleach per gallon of water down the drain and into any open cracks or crevices in the flooring and walls. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes before using a hose to rinse it clean.
- Apply an anti-mold solution such as Clorox Clean-Up or Febreze Cleaner to any areas that still show signs of mold growth, such as around pipes, ducts, or windowsills. Let it dry before using any cleaning products on top of it ..
