Answer 2

This is feedback, opposed to an answer, you have plenty of those. Make sure that you remove all "black" mold as quickly and as thoroughly as possible. Prolonged exposure can lead to multiple respiratory problems. Your quality of life can be effected with altered taste & smell.


I was exposed to black mold for 4-5 months, and after year my taste & smell are finally returning to normal

Answer 3

I would start the way we always do, Lot's of hot water and elbow grease. Then we used Lysol and bleach to do it once again. After it dries and looks pretty good a good spraying with Lysol again.
Your going to have to start using the bathroom fan during and, after a bath. If you don't have one, let the bath door open after a bath to let some of the moisture out. Use a good ani-fungal paint, it cost a little more but is good, from Home Depot.

1st and foremost you need to replace the sheetrock after you find the leak that is causing the sheetrock to get wet. Installing an exhaust fan afterwards, this will help cut down on some of the moisture ( condinsation ) as well as not using such hot water when showering

Answer 5

Just go to your local drugstore and buy mold and mildew remover. After your done cleaning, leave the windows open so it won't return.
