Unfortunately, you may still have to suffer the consequences that a flood brings, specifically mould growth. Remember that mould only develops after a flood for two to four days. If not handled immediately, mould wouldn\u2019t just affect your health in multiple ways\u2014it can also damage your home\u2019s structure.<\/p>\n<p>Due to its effects, every homeowner whose home just got flooded should immediately remediate mould growth. But if any part of your property already has mould, don\u2019t fret. With the right advice, you can still safely eliminate mould and even prevent it from reoccurring on your property.<\/p>\n<p>To help you out, here\u2019s a quick guide on how to clean up mould after a flood:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Know when to call a professional<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With the right equipment, experience and tips and techniques, you can DIY the entire mould clean-up process. In fact, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), if the affected area is less than ten square feet, you might not need a mould removal expert. Hence, if a more extensive part of your home is affected by mould or you don\u2019t have the necessary know-how, it\u2019s best to call an expert.<\/p>\n<p>The best <a href=\"https:\/\/mouldmen.com\/melbourne\/\">mould removal specialists in Melbourne<\/a> have the equipment and training to handle any type and size of mould growth in the most systematic and safest way possible. In addition to cleaning up the mould, these experts can also trace and address the source of moisture, which is a significant key to mould growth. Lastly, suppose mould growth has caused damage to any parts of your home. These professionals can remove or restore those specific areas, making your home or contents look brand-new.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prepare for clean-up<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As mentioned above, mould can be a health risk for those susceptible to it. Mould can cause allergic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/mold-in-house\">symptoms<\/a>, including the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Runny nose<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Itching<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Watery eyes<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Sneezing<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Wheezing<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Difficulty breathing<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Headache<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Fatigue<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Coughing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Thus, the moment you notice any mould, act on it immediately\u2014either by removing them yourself or calling an expert. If you opt for the former route, make sure to call your insurance company and take pictures of areas, including your belongings, affected by mould. Also, suppose you can no longer clean, dry out and keep any item within two to four days. Then, it\u2019s best to throw them away. Keeping items damaged by mould can only invite more spores into your home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cleaning up<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re sensitive to mould exposure, wear the necessary safety equipment, like gloves, respirators, masks and goggles, when cleaning up the mould yourself. Once you\u2019ve prepared yourself and are ready to clean up the mould, keep these clean-up tips in mind:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Invite fresh air into your home: <\/strong>The need to open your home to fresh air is only necessary if the humidity inside your home is higher than outdoors. In this case, you can use dehumidifiers and fans to dry away any excess moisture. You can also open as many doors and windows in your home, letting fresh air flow in. Don\u2019t forget to have sufficient airflow in your attic, too, especially since this is where mould often grows.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clean up surfaces and standing water: <\/strong>Use a wet\/dry vacuum to clean any standing water. For hard surfaces, you can use a 10% bleach solution. Ensure you don\u2019t mix ammonia and bleach as the concoction can emit toxic vapours.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_75907\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-75907\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-75907\" src=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/AdobeStock_229939430-1-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/AdobeStock_229939430-1-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/AdobeStock_229939430-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/AdobeStock_229939430-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/AdobeStock_229939430-1-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/AdobeStock_229939430-1-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/AdobeStock_229939430-1-272x182.jpeg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-75907\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">When the basement begins to leak it&#8217;s time for major repair and restoration work by professionals.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019re confident you\u2019ve removed mould in any part of your home, end the cleaning process by taking a shower and washing any clothing you wore when cleaning up.
