1.00Black mold removal - what do you recommend for DIY?
Q.An friend from G. Rapids, Michigan is into foreclosures this days. He got me a house there, a real bargain price. Must fly over tomorrow to see it and sign the papers, then back to work on Monday. He said it's all fine, good condition compared to other places like this he sold - except that heating was off during winter and it developed some nasty black mold and I have to start thinking what can I do about it in less than 2 days. I heard black mold is toxic - he sent me pics of it - can see basement mold, kitchen and even attic mold. I cannot possible hope of doing anything drastic in such a short time, like pumping the crawlspace mold out, but could I at least spend a few dollar and starve it DIY with some off-the-shelf before I return there next month and spend a few days bringing the place to life? Anyone facing something similar recently?
A.You got some very sound answers there, but not sure you know what to do next. My advice, based on the experience I got with black mold removal when my grandma died and I had to sell the house - forget about DIY as the first option before you get an expert on-site to have a look and eventually give you a quote. I used http://www.michiganmoldspecialist.com last year, as they were close and I got a mold removal assessment and quote for free on the same day, once one of their specialists drove over and checked the house. Make sure the agent gets to see everything, including crawlspaces mold - if you want to renegotiate the insurance, you need that.
My 2c - you stand no chance of dealing with this on your own if you are not qualified, and you risk making things worse or even harm yourself. Get it at least properly assessed and do that BEFORE you buy the property - right now you risk losing little, and foreclosure mold is still expensive mold, whatever bargain your friend is driving. Just keep a cool head and think this through, right?

1.00Are there any grants out there for black mold removal.?
Q.I have had to move from my home because I became very ill. but can't afford to get the removal done on my own and insurance won't help. everytime I go into my house i breakout in a rash. I still am ill but have had to quit my job and no longer have insurance. I just am at a loss about what I should do next. any advice would help.
A.No knowledge of grants.
But check out the remarkable research on toxic mold removal done by environmental expert Dr Ed Close. Simply diffusing a therapeutic-grade essential oil regularly will likely result in an environment very hostel to mold.
http://www.secretofthieves.com/mold.cfm
In one instance, 10,667 stachybotrys mold spores were identified in a per cubic meter area. After diffusing Thieves essential oil for forty-eight hours, Dr Close retested. Only thirteen stachybotrys remained. Similarly, 75,000 stachybotrys mold spores were identified in a sample of sheetrock. After seventy-two hours of diffusing, no stachybotrys mold spores remained. (Stachybotrys has a reputation for being the most toxic mold.)
Don't know if it'll solve your problem, but an investment of a couple hundred bucks in a diffuser an some bottles of oil is certainly less expensive than the normal remediation process.
1.00What is the black streaks on roofs of buildings -and how do you get rid of it.?
Q.Ive found no products listed for removal of streaks-just for mold on fences and a power sprayer-not good for a roof lol.
hope someone knows what causes it.
A.It is mold as you have stated. A dilute bleach solution works pretty well but is not a permanent solution. Sunlight or removal of the moisture source is the better long term answer.
1.00I need a good referral for a mold inspection and removal company in nyc,?
Q.I am in need of a good mold removal and inspection company that is located in NYC, can anyone help?
A.April, I would do more homework on possible choices for mold remediation companies than asking on here.
This is an area that is rife with gougers & I know you want your problem solved ASAP, but unless you like using $$$ as toilet tissue, research all your estimators very carefully & call references. Ask for references of 1, 2, 3 & 5 years ago...that way you can see how satisfied a broad range of customers are with a given contractor.
While the post about servpro is correct, they are one of the highest priced in the field. Usually you can receive comparable services for 1/3 to 1/2 of servpro's quote.
I would also suggest that you read what is available at & through this link:

Good luck...
1.00I need housecleaning rates?
Q.What is a reasonable housecleaning rate to charge my customers? I do Garage Organizing Yard Services and Indoor Room Painting. I have been asked to clean a vacant rental which intails appliance cleaning mold removal in bathroom kitchen counter tops and cabinets. Any suggestions please submit. Thank you. I been asked to do this job on Saturday
A.I usually charge $15.00/hour. For a vacant rental, after I look and see how dirty it is, I usually multiply the number of hours I think it will take by $15 and give them a flat rate. However, with the mold removal, that is tricky and will require extra work. It also depends on how dirty it is and how much you are doing. Charge what YOU feel is a fair price for all your labor. Vacant rentals are the most labor intensive. Good luck!

Kitchen Mold Removal
The incidence of asthma is up to 300 times greater in the US than in decades past, and mold and mildew are believed to be to blame for this increase. Apart from the bathroom, the kitchen is the single most important source of mold in the home. The conditions are always damp, and warm, and there is always plenty of waste food and water left to begin breeding in. Here are few simple ways you can keep the mold out of your kitchen and out of your life.
keep your drains clean. The drains are constantly wet and therefore provide a fertile ground for mold to begin growing. Pour small amounts of bleach regularly down the sink. Whenever you use lemons for cooking cut up the rind and shove it down the garbage disposal. The lemon juice kills spores. Don't leave food in the garbage bin for too long. Fix leaky faucets and drains as quickly as possible. The drip drip of the water will create conditions that are ideal for mold spores to begin infesting the area. Use an exhaust fan to keep stale air out for the kitchen. If you have no exhaust fan, get one installed. It's a small investment to keep the air in your kitchen clean and dry. Wipe wet surfaces regularly, and wipe them completely dry.
With just a little extra care, your kitchen can be kept free from mold spores. If you do find mold growth after all these measures, don't attempt to remove these on your own by experimenting with kitchen remedies and household cleaners.
