Expert mold remediation near you

Almost nothing can make your home feel less like a sanctuary than discovering mold. Unfortunately, mold spreads as soon as 24 hours after finding an adequate place to thrive.

How to Get Rid of Mold on Walls

Depending on how severe the mold growth is on the walls of your home, you might be able to get rid of it. Unfortunately, if your walls utilize porous materials such as bathroom tiles, then it is likely that they will need to be replaced. However, if it is made of non-porous materials such as plaster or sheetrock, and you noticed mold growth in its early stage, it is possible to remove the mold yourself.

Get rid of mold growth on non-porous surfaces in your home by doing the following:

Clean the surface with a solution made up of detergent and water. Use a sponge or brush to wipe away the mold. Let it dry completely.
Follow up with a solution of water and bleach -- mix ¾ cup of chlorine bleach to a gallon of warm water. While wearing rubber gloves, use a sponge or brush to apply the mixture to the mold stains on the wall. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
After the water-bleach mixture has sat for 5 minutes, scrub the wall, rinse it, and let it air dry.

If the mold growth is severe or you or your loved ones are allergic to mold or have a sensitive respiratory system, it is better to have a Memphis mold removal expert on your side. Reach out to our team ServiceMaster by Cornerstone to schedule an appointment today to get rid of mold on your walls.

What is the difference between mold removal and mold remediation?
