Although bleach can be effective against mold on nonporous surfaces, it can’t penetrate porous surfaces for complete mold removal. In fact, bleach has the potential to promote mold growth, particularly if the source of moisture is still active. And worst of all, bleach can damage your furniture and walls, so using it is usually discouraged.

Unfortunately, mold can spread quickly. It’s also hard to determine the extent of an infestation by its visible size. Actually, more often than not, when mold grows behind walls and around ventilation systems, you may only be able to see a small portion of it. Thus, you shouldn’t wait until you find noticeable amounts of mold, as even small patches could point to a severe infestation.

Even though not everyone is affected by mold, continuous exposure to it can cause a variety of illnesses. That is especially true for those who are already dealing with respiratory issues. Some of the most common symptoms of mold exposure include headaches, watery eyes, congestion, memory loss, coughing, and dizziness.
