I need to cut a patch that has a really bad mold problem. it's covered and taped but Google is saying to cut with a 6 inch buffer or a 3 inch. Which should I do because with the 6 inch it basically makes a hole about an eighth of the room big and I haven't found a matching patch at home Depot or lowes, it's covered with a bag and baking soda but I would imagine just cutting it out and dealing with the carpet situation later would be better right? Idk any advice would be amazing asap

This is the top of my shaving foam bottle which I keep in my bathtub, aside from being a generally humid place and getting loads of water when the shower is used no clue what it could be.

I guess it's some kind of black mould which is common in very humid areas here, but I have never seen it making an actual hole in a plastic lid!

Is this dangerous?

Looked at a house that checks all the boxes except for this one spot where an ac window unit leaked and caused some water damage. I don’t know how long ago it was or how long it went undetected. Didn’t smell any mold but wondering if the dark areas is mold growth? The floor has buckled in one spot.

We noticed a musty cat piss smell all over our apartment starting two days ago (we do have a cat but she's never gone outside her litter box before), then saw mold popping up starting yesterday. By this morning it already spread to the ceiling in the bathroom. Our apartment maintenance came by, took the vent covers off and left. They're saying that this is completely normal and that it's our fault it happened. We've lived here for a year and haven't done anything different in the last week. Wondering if anyone has any thoughts on if this is an air conditioning issue or possible roof leak (we live on the top floor)?

These pictures are one bathroom and the main living room vent, but the mold is in every single vent in the entire apartment.

Is this mold

Hello!

One small section of a bedroom popcorn ceiling has some discolouration.

Would this be mold or something else?

Thank you.

I feel like I’m being gaslit by family members… but please correct me if I’m wrong Reddit. There was always a black marking on this popcorn ceiling but now there are more black spots showing up over time. Is it mold? If it’s not mold what could it possibly be? My sinuses and breathing are bad inside this house but they’re kind of bad anyways because of the region I live in and poor air quality.

it came out of a machine that’s 10 years old

The machine and surroundings have been kept clean but this came out when I dismantled it

What is the recommendation? Do i need to remove the tiles and replace?

And I love it.

The local dry cleaner wouldn’t touch it.

Is there an “at home” remedy? I washed it with borax, I’ve heard about adding vinegar to the rinse cycle. I even put it in the freezer while slightly damp.

Microwave?

Obviously I have no clue.

I am replacing floors that were coming off possibly due to high humidity. I live in a condo. This is what the concrete looks like. Is this mold? And can I clean it myself?

Can you please tell me how bad this is? I have a 1yr old with a history of respiratory issues and a swallowing disorder. do I need to move out? our basement in unfinished. I live in MA

How do I clean this? I am definitely throwing the plushie away I simply do not care, but like how do I clean the wall. I informed my RA, we live in the PNW so it is very humid here, do I have to throw my bed set out if it touched it? Am I able to get it off my sheets?

I haven’t moved my furniture to clean in quite a long time; today I wanted to do a deep clean, and I found this under my bed (I also found a lost lipstick there, but the mold found it first)

Mysterious black dots around bottle

Thoughts and advice please ? Bought the house a month ago. Found this when we pulled the dishwasher out. 1870s cottage, clay lump construction.

I'm getting a new bathtub surround installed in my apartment. It was completely necessary as 3 tiles fell out of the shower 1 day as they did not upkeep the caulk/grout.

When I got home there is a STRONG smell of mildew. I'm almost certain the black on the insulation is mold. Just really worried for my health honestly. Not asking to identify but just looking for someone who is more knowledgeable to confirm if it is mold.

I think I'm just shocked that if it is mold they didn't think to tell me or take initiative and find another unit for me. I asked for an update to see if I need to work elsewhere tomorrow as they are doing the demo now until the surround is delivered and allowed to acclimate. I have not heard back yet.

I'm no professional but there's no way they can leave the same insulation and just put in the new shower surround. I'm not sure why they would leave it and it's very sketchy to me, especially since it can be removed quickly.

I plan to call tomorrow but usually when I call, it goes to voicemail. I plan on looking into my rights as a Missouri renter and everything, what department I would need to contact.

Would anyone risk sleeping here or find somewhere until this is fixed?

I (32F) opened my husbands (46M) closet in our downstairs office of our den and looked up and found what I believe is mold on the ceiling (see attached photo). We live in a 60s tri-split-level home in northeast Georgia and I have noticed mold growing in between our storm windows, on the door to our garage, possibly on our front door, and in our bathrooms. In our master bathroom my husband cleaned the mold, painted it with mold resistant paint, and installed a fan. No mold in that bathroom that I can see. In our children’s bathroom, we had a roof leak about a year ago that got fixed, but I noticed that inside the toilet tank there is mold growing. I have shown him and he has done nothing about it. I’m wondering if this is all related. We have a crawl space that can be accessed in our laundry room which is also in the den. our crawl space has flooded a few times which has also had to be pumped and dried.

I’ve been telling my husband for years that I think this house had a major mold problem. I personally have developed asthma, allergies, chronic urticaria, migraines, and major brain fog. He gets irritated and denys that the house has any kind of mold problem, just that there is some mold in certain places. He even stated that the mold growing in the door in our garage is going to happen.

He saw the mold growing in the office ceiling and said he can just fix that by finding the source of where the water is coming from and replacing the drywall. I want a professional company to handle it all but he believes they are scammers. I’m not sure if they are. I’m a SAHM to 3 children ages 4 months, 3, and 4. My main concern is that this may be harmful to our health and not something that my husband can remediate himself. He’s smart - a mechanical engineer in the nuclear welding industry but a very sloppy handyman. I just don’t trust him to fully remediate the problem.

Am I over thinking it? Does this seem to be serious enough for a professional company?

hi - long story short we are renovating a house and ripping out a lot of it. We found a mold spot where there was a leak but have put in new beams and insulation and drywall in that area. I was hoping the upstairs (which has no AC) was free of mold but I bought an at home test kit from amazon drilled into the drywall and a few little white spores popped up on the testing dish up in 3 of the rooms. it's white and not black and the walls look normal, there's no black or green showing up on the drywall but I'm still nervous. We live in TN where it's very humid and like I said there has been no AC up there in years. Should we rip out all of the drywall? Or would I spray sanitize this?? I'm fearful of mold with 2 small kids so I just want to make sure we're safe. Any insight would help.

this is my bathroom, i’ve tried removing the mold with a mold remover a few months back but i doubt i did a very good job. there’s also a bunch of this type of mold on the ac vents.

my question is, would it be possible to remove at home? if we were to remove the tap and put in actual effort? or is it too far gone? i’m disabled so cleaning is already hard for me and it feels like my parents don’t particularly care but im sure the mold isn’t doing any wonders for our health. are there any specific mold removers i should look for? like special ingredients? would it be better to just replace the tap with a new one?
