DIY mold removal can be hazardous due to the potential health risks and improper handling of mold spores. Without proper protective gear and containment, disturbing mold can release spores into the air, worsening respiratory issues or causing allergic reactions. Inadequate cleaning methods may not fully eliminate mold, leading to regrowth and further contamination. Some types of mold, like black mold, can produce toxins that require professional treatment. Additionally, using household cleaners incorrectly can worsen the problem or damage surfaces. It’s essential to consult experts to identify the type and extent of mold to ensure safe and effective remediation.
