The mold that is toxic to humans is relatively rare in the fungus world, meaning most kinds you find in your house or business aren't dangerous. However, some are dangerous, so any mold you find indoors must be cleaned up and completely removed.

Government experts recommend that you contact a home mold removal Brighton CO company for cleanup help if the mold growth takes up more than 9 square feet. When you see any frightening amount of mold growth, though, it's smart to call for help from professional mold removal services.

Mold in the environment can be particularly harmful to infants, children, and anyone with a compromised immune system such as people with AIDS/HIV or lupus.
