This guy makes me feel so peaceful about something that was scaring the shit out of me.
I've successfully eradicated mold infestation by spraying undiluted 8% white vinegar on the affected areas,allowing to dry,then wiping with more vinegar! Wear gloves ,mask and goggles!!!
Boil your water immediately before mixing it with the vinegar and it will be many times stronger
Thanks
Thank you for your simple and relaxed delivery of very helpful information!
Wow. Your comment section is very entertaining. For one thing chlorine bleach is absolutely NOT salt water. Omg. And they keep harping on the use of a fan. In your video you said using a fan for air circulation with heat and a dehumidifier is key. It’s also true. One of the reasons the “experts” recommend ceiling fans in every room. I think some of the people making comments about your video missed the part where you said small areas of mold. If it’s a large area or is mixed with sewage you’d need a professional. I find your video very informative and accurate. Thank you.
Thanks for the info Steve. We are looking for information on how to kill mold in the basement of out Church. This would be a good starting point for us I think.
Love the video and the way you talk. Thank you!
Love it. Straight to the point and the whole video just relaxed me to no end
Wow, great video! Have some small amounts of mold and was nervous on how to rid it. Great to know the process isn't as difficult as I though. Thanks!!!
Fire. That’s the only answer.
thanks a billion Steven Maxwell.its very knowledgeable information..it's really help me alot.. now my house is very ventilated and smells good
Wow so useful and practical! Thanks 4 sharing!
Amazing explanation of mould, thank you so much
Excellent tutorial! Thank You!
Thanks for educating the community and appreciate your volunteer-ship in posting this video/
I am sure it helps public.
Please keep posting somemore videos
Thanks to you and your team
You just made my day. This is an excellent video worth watching again once I buy a dehumidifier tomorrow.
I learned a lot from this video. Thanks!
Informative video. Thank you, Steve!
Thanks JC, I just did that!
Great video. thank you
Perfect - thank you.
Thanks for the simple tips!!
Super helpful, thanks.
Thank You!!
Keep in mind as you watch this and read all the comments - mold can be killed, but dead mold spores are toxic too. They must be removed. Not a simple task.
How do you do that
I thought beer smoking cause me the issue of sickness doing to much but I guess there black dark mold on my window.... I been sleep next to it the whole time.
Liver issue

I was looking for someone who did not recommend bleach for treatment of black mold on pourous materials.. because I knew that was not the right treatment. this video was very professional and validated some of the things I did know about black mold. Therefore, I was more inclined to believe his recommendations. As far as the fan, I am sure he does not mean to blow high rate direct blowing on the mold. My common sense suggest he indicates increasing ventilation to dry out the affected material.
Thank you for this VIDEO.. exactly what I was looking for to tackle the mold around the fridge baseboard.
Good tutorial - the product actually works - we use it for mold remediation - without the use of fans.
What area did you us it own?????
I've been having more problems with my asthma lately so I decided to check one of my closets that I rarely use because my computer desk is in front of it. And there was a brown stain on the ceiling and on the floor the carpet was damp and there was some type of black mold on the drywall and underneath the carpet. (and man did it stink, when I sucked up the moisture from the carpet, very scary especially since I have asthma)
Here's hoping my frigging landlord actually does something about it, I've done all I could from using my carpet cleaner, spraying the area with disinfectint that kills mold, and running my mini de humidifier.
Thank You!!!!
LOVED THIS!
Well this guy in obviously not a Mold guy. Here is the facts..Never dry any mold with fans..You cross contaminated the entire area and disperse the spores, and they could get into your AC return and now you're Whole house is a mold house..You never spray anything on a mold surface without first HEPA vacuuming, some mold speci's Blum when hit with moisture or in this case a spray.. Spraying a affected area is the last step of any protocol..The biggest myth is once you kill the mold your fine..Dead mold vs live mold or viable mold works on the body the exact same way, no difference..And finially..The mold you see growing on building materials or that cardboard box did not start there, it started with elevated mold spores in the air and with moisture it attached to the wall or whatever building product you see it started collinizing to where you can see it because of the proteins in the materials, (food source)..The key to properly fixing surface mold problems is to find what area's are affected by Bio-aersol Air testing, then HEPA vacuum, then wet wipe with a fungul solution, and most importantly run air srcubbers to take out the spores that cause the issue in the first place, and implement dehumidifiers to control the moisture..Not fans.. I've been a indoor Environmentalist and remediator for 20 years..Pass on the commercials on TV and the internet and hire a professional, because it's not What you see making you sick, It's what you can't see...
Good Morning Jerry,
Thanks for your notes and comments. I guess you'll have to take up your concerns with the mold abatement professionals I consulted in making this video. I've been teaching people about mold abatement for 15 years, always in consultation with professional mold people here in Canada. Everything in this video was cleared by them. I've never had any technical criticisms like yours before. Why would you rate your opinions over those of licensed mold abatement professionals that advise me and approve the content I create?
Take care and thanks for watching.
Steve
help me please I have white fluffy mold on vinyl wallpaper next to bed
I'm in the tropics. There aren't remediation services here. As soon as rainy season is here the mold and mildew begin to pop up. And I break out in hives. Tried vinegar first. Wiped of the ceiling rafters and concrete walls. Stayed away for a while. Then started smelling that musty smell again recently. It was in my dresser . Had to wash everything, take the cardboard covering of the back and wiped it down with Borax. The smell was gone. Now it's started raining again and it's back. What can I do?
Jerry Adams You sound like a pro. I was wondering, seriously, how you or the wife keep the bathroom from getting mold. I know its keep it clean in part. But just moved in an old apt and sliding glass doors (in doors rails with wheels), are total mud of never cleaned door frames. Any advice appreciated and thanks for posting!
Both of you have incredibly valuable information regarding mold and removal, and I am grateful for so much info about this important topic. I do believe that most people truly have no real idea of just how dangerous and prevalent of an issue that mold really is. I live in Southern Louisiana where the mold issues is epic horrible, with high, high humidity. We grow all molds here in every form and color!!! lol. I have found an incredibly easy and 100% effective and cheap method for dealing with all mold issues... For baskets, walls, shower etc, I simply drown it in clorox first and then after it dries, drown it in Lysol ll Brand, which 'KILLS' mold. This method WORKS, is cheap and easy to get the supplies. The mold never comes back. I wish everyone knew this. I came across your video, because I am looking for a way to remove mold from an antique lace table cover that my Grandmother gave me over 20 years back. Otherwise, I wouldn't have ever found your vid. Thank you for your work Sir, beautiful vid.
Thank you
Really well-done video.
Thanks
thank you...
Thanks so much.
thank you
thanks
What about airborne mold spores throughout the house. Do you fog the areas?
This guy is on the ball. Great video.
Dehumidifier in room in combo above method works also. This is what I do
Much appreciated
Great advice - I'm thinking just about every household has at least a minor amount of mold.
Yeah. My constantly damp bathroom mat was killing me.
what hydrometers do you recommend?
Does suspending a space with sheer mateial offer some level of protection against mold spores?
Good video bro, what do you think about dry ice treatment? It allegedly drys and freeze kills mold.
Really
Would you recommend using a dehumidifier to control humidity in a room?
After 2 years of inflammation of eyes and stuffy nose, brain fog and memory loss, and constant fatigue..I finally threw out the constantly damp bathroom mat. No more stuffy nose, my eyes haven't flared up, no more sleep apnea. I can breathe again!! Interestingly my allergy test came back negative for mold. Unbelievable
Are foggers good for tight small areas?
Yay.. thank YOU!!! Just purchased two 32 ox bottles on Amazon.... THIS was very VERY helpful... daughter's home has black mold and this will make me look like a complete hero! :) Very Much appreciated.. time and $$$ well spent!
tilex is great also and spounge takes care of dead dried up mold,i'm even a survivor of mold & recently killed my food allergies mold caused with lots of water,ate some food i was allergic to without it being to much then drank alot of water to trick the allergens as a quick reaction of killing them.
Frederick Dunn did it work??
Maria Magill It did at first, but the mold came right back.
Frederick Dunn awww not what i wanted to hear!!!
Maria Magill it does work initially, so if you can add circulation or insulation where the problem originates, it's probably fine. sorry :)
be aware of the condensation that can accumulate on exposed water lines that will drip possibly feeding mold.
Do dehumifers and air purfier both kill mold spores and mold I have mold in my bedroom and I use dehumifers and I have plug in air purfier also do they both work and are they both worth using
Does this same method apply to wood? thank you
If Adams is so smart why don't he have his own show? I've used guys like him before on rental property and have paid thousands for ordinal chemicals and some man hours. The gentleman in the video makes some good points.
This vid may be 8 years old but it’s the only one that didn’t send me into a panic that I wouldn’t be able to fix it myself … wish me luck killing the mold…
Are dehumifers worth using and do they kill mold already in a room or do they stop new mold appearing also is salt effective to use in a dehumifer when Crystal's have run out to kill mold already in a room or stop new mold appearing I have mold in my bedroom and I use dehumifers in my bedroom
Will this mold control spray will kill me too? Just in case I will use baking soda, and vinegar instead
Damn that dude should narrate books
Awesome! Thanks so much! :-) :-)
Very informative video, thank you. I have a question. What is the best way to dry out an area. I feel using a fan would spread mold spores everywhere.
I think using an ozonator in the area first is the way to go...before spraying. Last week, I used potassium bicarbonate[used to kill powdery mildew on plants] and 35% hydrogen peroxide[1 TB ] in half a cup of distilled water. After ozonating the area.
I've got a rather small mold problem with small black spheres that look to be growing on only the very top of my carpet's strands. My understanding has always been that a moldy carpet is effectively lost, simply because it's too difficult to properly clean it out once it's gotten mold. Too pours, hugs water too much. THere's an inconsequentially low chance of a large amount of water occuring in the same spot again.
My question is, is carpet theoretically salvageable by cleaning or should it be removed?
Carpet needs to be turned back and checked. Your subfloor could be wet and the underlay under the carpet could also have mould growth or is damp. If you have mould growth on the back of the carpet then the carpet is non restorable and needs to be replaced.
Vinegar is great for carpeting ! For cleaning and killing mold . The smell goes away fast 😄
During a routine termite inspection the report came back clean of termites but we have mold growing in the crawl space under neath the house. The mold is on the ground as well as up on the joists but it's only growing in the front area of the house which faces east and no mold is present anywhere else that we can find. I guess we should find the source of the mold first and then remove it. However, we live in Florida and it is of course very humid here. Why would mold be growing only in one area and not the other. Should we call a plumber first to see if we have any water leaks? Just not sure where to start but want to get rid of this mold asap and keep it gone. Can you give us any advice? Thank you!
Sounds like you have a ground drainage problem.
I have dark/black mold in two corners of my basement. Do I need to clean the surface first before spraying with concrobium? Or can I spray first and then clean. I don't want to stir up the spores if I can help it. And thank you for the video
spray first to kill it then wipe clean and spray after wards to inhibit next growth
Thank you so much for sharing this! Got any advice? My place smells mouldy but i cannot SEE any mold anywhere!. When I put the dehumidifier on it more or less manages to add to 3-4 liters that i have to throw out over a period of days. What am I missing?
The spores of mould are so small that you won't see them with the naked eye. It is impossible to remove all mould because it is carried in the air and so, even if your place *was* completely free of it at one stage, the minute that you open a door or window mould spores will enter. That is one of the reasons you must be very careful when removing it in any room - it is very easy to disturb spores and inadvertently transfer them to another room.
Bleach is often used and many proprietary products include it. Bleach doesn't actually kill mould spores. What happens is that the mould growth which is what you are actually seeing is removed by the bleach but the spores from which it grows will still be in the surface of the ceiling or whatever and so the growth will eventually come back.
So, the moral of the story is to use a proper mould removal agent and be careful about your mops, rags, or whatever that you use. In addition provide good ventilation and make sure that areas are dry. Moisture, darkness and a lack of airflow or what causes mould to grow.
A cheap and effective mould combatant is household vinegar mixed 8 parts vinegar to 2 parts water. It will remove both the mould growth AND the spores.
Bleach based mold remover products are best on indoor white concrete walls, at same time it kills and makes it white again.
Both products are for the same company, this is an ad not a tutorial.
opt1p1ex thank you. Saved me time as I didn’t watch it. Again, thanks.
🌲🌝☘️
I agree. So annoying!

Thank you. They all say no bleach. Yeah right.
Is the smell in my towels in my blankets mildew.? I have used MuleTeam. My husband says Mule Team will harm our new washing machine. I open my Linen cupboard to air it out.He is using more soap iT ISN'T WORKING. Could mildew grow in my linen cupboard? You cannot see anything It just stinks. :-( I don't want to use harmful chemicals and make a chemical soup Its hard on lungs I have asthma. Please help?
Thank you so much for your video. My problem is that we have mildew or mold growing on the ceiling of our tiny bathroom. I open the window after a shower, but it's not effective in preventing the mildew growth. There is no exhaust vent. I'm really stumped. Any suggestions you may have would be greatly appreciated!
that is my problem tooooo.
Without proper airflow in a bathroom you will have growth forsure. If the microbial growth is on drywall it needs to be contained and removed. You do need to find a way to get a vent or fan Installed. When you open the window it could let spores in and make things worse, a quick burp of the bathroom should be fine but not for a long time.
Not an elegant fix, but a simple box fan left running will remove/redistribute the moisture.
@@frodrickfronkensteen9241 Thanks!
dehumidifiers and seal the area up and run a corona arc emitter to fill the space with ozone which is like a gas form of bleach if you concentrate it enough.
Is carpeting installed over a cement slab (old garage floor is now a living space) a problem? If so, should I seal the surface of the cement slab, then reinstall carpeting over it, or should I place some kind of vapor barrier between the cement and the carpeting? Thanks
What is mold stain eraser powder?
What about ripping out the drywall that is contaminated and replacing it with new sheetrock?
That's OK, but you need to prevent the mold spores from flying around as you work. One way is to spray a soap solution, about 1: 10 mixture, and keep it wet as you work. The soap greatly increases the wetting ability of the water. You need to remove ALL the mold, everywhere it is found. Killing it is not good enough because even dead mold spores are still toxic. They just don't multiply.
@@rickmurray7123 how can you tell if drywall or wood has mold, or if there is mold behind wainscoting/panelling over drywall? or how to tackle it in wood-hydrogen peroxide? or in cupboards with non visible mold, is hydrogen peroxide cleaning enough?
@@garethmorrow2281 I have participated in mold cleanup in our house and I learned a lot from a real pro, but I'm not a pro and I believe there are some well informed folks here that bear paying attention to. Jerry Adams sounds like one of them.
How do you make a bathroom totally dry?
I have got some small white mites in my moisted room. There's a lot of them. They are hard to see on white surfaces. But on laptop and other black surfaces, they can be seen crawling slowly. I have read that they cause alergies and that they appear in the winter period. I didn't have them during summertime. How to treat them? Where do they multiply?
Buy food-grade 'Diatomaceous Earth'. It's a white powder. Sprinkle it around the edges of floors, don't breathe it. It works! My cat had killed a bird once, and it had red bird mites, and the mites took over my house (plus bit me, etc). The Diatom Earth worked within 2 weeks, they were all gone. Read about it. It kills all bugs naturally. buglord.com/how-to-use-diatomaceous-earth-to-kill-bugs/
Is it normal teen to have mold in the shower walls and roof. Next to a window? My other bathroom with no window doesn't have mold. Maybe the humidity and the light isn't a good combination.
Hi Steve,
What do you do if you can smell it when the house has been closed up and you walk in or it has been raining? How can you find it or who can you call to diagnose it? I can't tell if it is mold or old wood smell. I actually see no mold or mildew inside my home.
Tori Loy I have the same issue...
prorailer I finally looked under my 2 sinks at holes way too big for the pipes going through the wall. My nose finally led me there, took 2 weeks! I heard this apt had a roof leak that went into bathroom and they rebuilt it well other than putting that filler foam between the pipes and the wall. Thats where i found it at. Try opening the attic step door too if ya have one. Good day
Toob247 Toob247 Thanks. Yea the nieghbor said the roof leak went into bathroom in front of sink thru the heat lamp fixture. Looks like replaced tiles and part of sink cabinet cut back probably was wet. Then the new paint and just a little dab of hole filler at pipe thru wall. My nose led me there for that nasty smell. I wont get permission to tear anything out. They're old apts. and really think all i can do is get them to seal the holes better with that foam stuff. Prob'ly all apts have nasty molds in walls from leaks and never heard of them taking walls out to fix this kind of prob. Thanks for fedback !
Opinion on using ozone to kill mold in places that can't be reached but air can get too.
I sure wish this comment got some answers
My father does not want me to kill anything in the house which is moldy because he tells me that it is dangerous. Is it true what he is saying?
Hello I have some mold in the bathroom and there is no windows what do u recommend?
Joshua Cummings Is there a fan?
Leave the door open
vinegar
What about a wet area like shower? How would you keep that dry enough?
Mikey Ben-Chetrit non pourous surfaces at least makes cleaning easier
I have researched this, and I make a solution of white vinegar, water and tea tree oil, and spray it in my shower, under the sink, the faucet, and inside the toilet tank. Then, make sure you run your bathroom fan for at least a half-hour.
how about white vinegar? for porous surfaces
surferdudette19 it needs to be removed. Even dead or dormant growth is an allergen and can be toxic. No Miracle chemical just needs to be discarded properly and remove.
When I vacuumed I took no chances. I put the vacuum outside and ran an extra long hose through the window.
In labs, vinegar is used to remove mold spores
Mold is to never be killed or treated, always safely removed.
Why does the mold have to be killed after the moisture source has been eliminated?... I mean you did say mold needs moisture to grow, so why doesnt it die after its dry?
👍
Immune system is part of your body. Your body can stop a mold infection from killing you. I simply keep my environment clean, while playing with chemicals through art not with pills. This guy is a cleaner selling his business. In a century or so people will have brains to understand molecular chemistry to geo a better understanding of microbiology.
James, that comment was so amazingly helpful that I built a time machine to go 100 years in the future.
how about popcorn ceiling
thanks for the info i will try it. the only ones disagreeing with you is the mold remediator company they don’t like diy people.
What about when mold comes right back?...
How should I address the Deadly Problem of Mold on each of 21 floors Air Vents? The color of the mold is Grey, Green and White , it's so thick that it looks like cotton the size of the grid is approximately 13" by 15" and the holes are square shaped. I've lived in this Apt Complex 22 yrs and didn't notice that there was an air vent on the floor in the hallways until last yr 2018. I did notify the NYCHA about this Deadly Problem. NO RESPONSE YET FROM the Dept of NYCHA!!
THANKS
Thanks for the video it was a great help. I recently found out all in my closet I had black mold. Then I'm looking in my room I had green white color looking mold I'm moving soon and I'm practical having to throw away all my belongings because the mold is making them unsalvagable. My question to you is I'm worried I may bring mold into my new place how can I prevent this from happening I'm double checking every item I'm bringing but I'm worried thanks so much! !
Bi De
Hi Bi De,
That's too bad about your situation. The thing to understand is that mold needs moisture to grow. The key to preventing regrowth is to keep humidity levels low. What's the climate like where you live? Also, treating what you've got with a registered fungicide will kill the mold you've got. Fill me in on your climate situation and I may have more suggestions.
Bye for now,

Did you have any problem with the new house?
How do I keep it out of a clean toilet? It makes a spotted ring, even with a continuous cleaner in the tank.
Hi Barbara,
Your toilet problem might not be mold. Sometimes minerals in the water can leave rings behind in toilets. Are you on well water or town water?

I have a client who has had water damage years ago and he never replaced the moldy areas with new materials. He just let it dye out and believes dry mold is then non toxic. Now he has several major diseases and via my own inspection of his home he has several old stains and new moist stains. He refuses to believe how dangerous that is. Any help?
Thanks for writing. Isn't it amazing how vigorously people can hide from the truth sometimes? Have you conducted any indoor air quality tests? I just came across an airborne mold detector kit. It's called MyMoldDetective. I haven't used it yet, but you take an air sample, then send it away for analysis. Perhaps this is worth a try in this case.
