Hello,
I have basic question about black mold I seem to have in my family room. All comments appreciated.
My family room is on a slab. There is padding, old shag carpet, and PERGO installed OVER the carpet. Of course, this not so good. The Pergo is chipping, and seperating, and is just bad.
We pulled up 1 pergo panel by the threshold and the carpet has a little black mold on it. I can assume maybe I have black mold everwhere under the PERGO, although I could be wrong.
Anyway, I am having EVERYTHING ripped up, removed, and a an underlayment and real hardwood floor applied to the concrete slab.
Although the floor installer will remove everything, he can't be responsible for the "elimination" of the black mold. He did agree to wait 1 hour inbetween removal and installation, so I may mop the cement with bleach or some other solution. Then he'll lay the flooring.
Here's my question.... Once I have a bare cement floor, what solution would I use to eliminate any black mold that may still be there? Pure Bleech?
50/50 with water? Or some special cleaner?Thanks in advance. Bill
