How to Remove Mold in the Living Room

Don’t let mold live where you do – it reduces indoor air quality.

To colonize and grow, mold spores need a moist landing pad, a suitable temperature and a food source. Any organic material can serve as the food source, including drywall, wood, fabrics, or any soiled surface.

  •   Walls & Ceilings

    For walls and ceilings, depending on the amount of area you are treating with Concrobium Mold Control, you can apply the solution by: spray bottle (small targeted areas); brush or roller (trim); pump sprayer (large, accessible areas like walls) or a cold fogger (large or enclosed areas like basement, closets).

    1. With any option of application, ensure that a thin layer of Concrobium Mold Control is applied to the moldy surface.
    2. Allow it to dry and then clean with a Concrobium dampened cloth or brush. For tough and embedded mold staining, try our Concrobium Mold Stain Eraser.
    3. Re-apply the product after cleaning to leave a thin layer of the solution on the surface to protect against future mold.
      Using a fogger can help apply Concrobium to hard to reach parts of the wall and ceiling. For more details about fogging click here. If there is a concern that there is major mold growing behind your walls, click herefor a solution.

  •   Carpet

    Concrobium Mold Control is great for eliminating odors and odor causing particles in carpets. If you suspect mold in your carpet, you should pull it back to see if mold is growing on the subfloor and under padding as well.

    1. Once you have access to the mold, apply Concrobium Mold Control as a thin, even layer over the affected surface and allow to dry. As it dries, the solution forms a film that crushes and eliminates the mold spores.
    2. As Concrobium does not have any bleach or whitening agents, you may have to take additional steps to improve the look of surface being treated if mold staining still remains.
    3. In any case, ensure that Concrobium is the last product applied to the surface to ensure the protective barrier remains intact to prevent from future mold.

    NOTE: Try using a HEPA Vacuum to lift and remove any (dead) mold spores that may be embedded within the carpet fibers after successful treatment.
