30. Mold Remediation with the Mold Medic, Michael Rubino

Listen to my interview with internationally recognized mold remediation expert, Michael Rubino @themoldmedic.

Michael is a council certified Mold Remediator by IICRC and ACAC and a contributing member, sponsor, and speaker for the Indoor Air Quality Association. He wrote the book The Mold Medic: An Expert's Guide on Mold Removal.

Highlights:

✨How to identify mold in your home

✨What to do once you've identified mold

✨Why all mold remediation companies aren't created equal- you have to do your homework!

Myths debunked in this episode:

✨Mold is only found in older homes (false)

✨Mold can't grow in new construction (false)

✨Mold can only grow if there is current water damage (false)

✨Symptoms of mold exposure are the same for everyone (my husband and I experienced this myth, as we had very different reactions to mold)

✨Mold doesn't contribute to autoimmune diseases (oooh yes it does!)

✨Killing mold with bleach is safe (you actually want to remove it, not "kill" it)

✨All mold removal companies think to check HVAC units (most don't)

As we continue to spend more time at home than we ever have, I highly recommend listening to this episode for your own health and wellness. Your indoor air quality has a direct impact on your personal health and the health of your family members.
