We have proper chlorine/ph (now) levels and have shocked it but there is black mold areas all over the bottom and in the crevices around the tiles on the steps and sides. We used some HTP mold/algea treatment and the water is clear, no algea, but the pool looks filthy because of the mold. Is there a treatment we can do ourselves that will work?
I think it is accurately “black algae” not black mold….

We’ve found black mold under the base mouldings in our new house. What products should we use? Where can we buy them? (in-store only, we need to take care of this *FAST*)
Thank-you!

Nidia, Biker Babe asked:


My mom’s bathroom has poor ventilation and the walls are always full of black mold stains, how can you get rid of them or cover them up, even better, how can you make them go away? I’ve tried mold and mildew resistant paint and it still comes back! What can I do? Tile is out of the question, the bathroom is too small. The walls are just concrete and paint. Please Help!

Amanda S asked:


Hello, I am subleasing from my roommate in San Francisco and have discovered there is a problem with black mold. The landlord is very sneaky, and “fixed” the problem earlier this year by painting over it. My roommate is unconcerned with the mold and refuses to contact the landlord again. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to move right away. What are my rights (if any) in California that would allow me to contact the landlord myself and demand the mold be removed?

Big Sis asked:


My boyfriend has black mold growing on his basement walls. They are cement. In the past this room was used for a bedroom. He would like to get it cleaned up and use it again, but not in the condition it is in. Please– only serious answers.

Jaisonda asked:


Weird question. I know.

Im pretty sure black mold can attach to aluminum and discolor it? Can it do this to stainless steel as well? If so, does it just discolor it or does it embed itself into it? Can it be cleaned? I think I might have some in a pan that I left out a little damp overnight.
