Pre-Assessment and Safety Measures

Conduct a thorough inspection of the affected area to identify mold presence.

Assess the extent of mold contamination and determine the necessary containment measures.

Ensure that all personnel involved in the mold cleaning process are equipped with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).

Establish a safe work environment by isolating the contaminated area from non-affected areas.

Containment and Preparation

Seal off the area with plastic sheeting to prevent mold spores from spreading.

Use 6-mil polyethylene plastic sheeting.
Secure edges with duct tape to ensure airtight seals.
Create an entry point with a flap for easy access.
Cover windows and ventilation openings to prevent leaks.

Turn off HVAC systems to avoid circulating mold spores to other areas.

Locate the main power switch for the HVAC system.
Shut off the system completely before starting work.
Inform all personnel about the shutdown.
Seal off air ducts to prevent airflow during the cleanup.

Set up negative air pressure systems to control air flow and contain spores.

Install air filtration devices with HEPA filters.
Position units to create negative pressure in the work area.
Ensure exhaust air is directed outside the building.
Monitor air pressure with manometers to maintain negative pressure.

Remove any items that can be cleaned or that are not affected by the mold.

Identify and sort items into 'cleanable' and 'discard' categories.
Seal cleanable items in plastic bags to prevent contamination.
Dispose of non-cleanable items in accordance with local regulations.
Document all removed items for record-keeping purposes.

Cleaning and Remediation

Use appropriate antimicrobial cleaning agents and follow manufacturer instructions.

Clean hard surfaces with scrub brushes and HEPA vacuum cleaners.

Dispose of contaminated materials following local regulations (e.g., drywall, insulation).

Ensure that all surfaces are thoroughly dried to prevent future mold growth.

Post-Cleaning Assessment

Conduct a follow-up inspection to ensure mold has been effectively removed.

Test air quality and surfaces for residual mold spores.

Document the cleaning process, including photographs and reports.

Final Steps and Prevention

Implement moisture control measures to reduce humidity levels in the affected area.

Educate occupants on mold prevention strategies and maintenance of dry environments.

Schedule regular inspections and maintenance of the area to prevent future mold growth.

Keep records of the mold cleaning process for future reference and compliance.
