'{{New unreviewed article|source=ArticleWizard|date=October 2011}} '''Mold removal''' is the process by which mold is extracted and eliminated from a surface. When assessing the mold contamination it needs to figured out if it’s something which can be taken care of by a homeowner, or if a professional should be called. In general, a professional should be consulted if there is any affected area larger than a half sheet of drywall to avoid the mold creating even more contamination. If it is discovered the job is small enough for to handle, the following steps will help protect people and their home. Materials Needed: -Rubber gloves that are made of natural rubber and extend to the elbow (it’s important to have gloves without any holes or obvious wear) -Goggles without air holes (*According to the Environmental Protection Agency wearing goggles without air holes will guard you against mold spores coming into contact with your eyes)<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.epa.gov/mold/moldcleanup.html| title=Mold cleanup: | publisher=US Environmental Protection Agency | accessdate=2011-10-27}}</ref> -Filtered mask rated N-95 or higher (the higher the N rating the more protection you have against breathing any mold spores) The type of solution you use depends on the material the mold is growing on. The most commonly used solution is soap and water. A weak bleach solution can also be used, but avoid mixing it with anything besides water. To clean mold from hard surfaces such as metal use the solution of dish soap and water. A sponge and scraper can be used to help remove the mold spores. Remember to discard all of the sponges once the cleanup has been completed. When cleaning a porous surface (such as drywall or wood) there is no easy cleanup process, and most often the material needs to be replaced. If at any time during the cleanup process the job is seems too complex, a professional should be called to ensure the contamination is remedied properly. == References == <!--- See [[Wikipedia:Footnotes]] on how to create references using <ref></ref> tags which will then appear here automatically --> {{Reflist}} == External links == * [http://www.example.com/ example.com] <!--- Categories ---> [[Category:Articles created via the Article Wizard]]'
