is there a spray or air circulator we can use on mold?

until we have a chance to rip out the walls and ceiling to remove it?

Update:

this is hidden mold that you can't see but,you can smell it really strong,almost like a chemical smell.only 3 days after a severe rain storm that soaked through the brand new roof that we paid over 5000.00 for.

    if you can see the mold dont touch it - it will release spores

    First spray it with White Vinegar - believe it or not many sites say that this works better than bleach-- (it certainly did for us i cannot tolerate bleach) use a spritzer bottle and wet the mold with it then and only then wipe the mold off and discard into plastic bags to be discarded.

    even with the vinegar a mask is not a bad idea.

    the house will smell like a pickle factory for a day or so but its worth it.

    if you dont believe me check these out

    You can get primers and paints at specialty paint stores (like Dunn Edwards) that are specifically designed to resist mold growth. You might also want to spray something like Tilex (chlorine based mold spray for moldy tile grout) on the affected area first. Just let it sit and dry, and then remove any residue with a wet cloth and paint over it.

    I used to force public transportation-town bus-and probably the most different motive force's used to spray down the stinkiest of the smelly. Used to have road folks experience and that is excellent with me however a few of them have been under the influence of alcohol smelly or had performed a role on themselves final week and I imply reek. . .sufficient to make you barf however they'd the correct to experience. I used to be completely satisfied I did not need to take a seat subsequent to them. What I hated worse have been the females that doused themselves in quite heavy fragrance. They stunk simply as unhealthy. I bet within the ancient days fragrance helped masks the BO however delicate is first-class at the moment. . .and usually all of them had an excessive amount of on. . . you could not breath. . .
