Molds involve all kinds of microscopic fungi. The growth of a mold can be in
the appearance of a hyphae or multicellular filaments. On the other hand, single
cells microscopic fungi are known as yeasts. It does not create any taxonomic
grouping, and are generally found in the categories of deuteromycota, zygomycota
and ascomycota. However, few of them can lead to diseases or spoiling of food.
Some of them can still be used in the production of various food items, enzymes
and antibiotics or in biodegradation. The life of a mold spore initiates through
a small spore. There are three conditions under which there is a growth of a
mold.

1) Nutrients: food for spores is the organic matter and usually it is
cellulose.

2) Time: a mold growth is generally between 10 days and 24 hours after meeting
of mold growing conditions.

3) Moisture: this is essential to initiate the decaying procedure that is
created by the mold.

Mold spores are both sexual and asexual and some species can even make both
types. These may consist of a single or several nucleuses. The life of a mold
spore can be either in air that is to say that, they can be airborne. They can
bear the excessive range of both pressure and temperature. Thus, mold spores are present everywhere no matter if it is indoor or outdoor.

However, before undertaking a task for cleaning a mold it is necessary to see
that it does not spread to other areas. Each room should be separately cleaned.
One should make sure that no dust is left in the rooms that have been cleaned as
this may spread the molds to other areas.

These molds should then be thrown away in clean bags to prevent spreading of
these molds. The room should then be sprayed with a disinfectant. Another point
that should be kept in mind for preventing molds is to switch on the fan after
cleaning. This will direct the airborne molds outside. During the cleaning
process of molds, if there are any dry molds found, then it is better to first
sprinkle them a bit with water and then clean it. This is because dry molds tend
to become airborne and spread in other rooms. The cleaned areas should then be
treated with soap and then a disinfectant should be sprayed. Once all this is
done, the cleaned area should then be completely dried. But in case moisture is
left in the room then it is dubious to say that one will not have to encounter
any problems relating to mold growth in future.

Non-porous and semi-porous material like wood and plastic bags that have been
cleaned from mold growth can be reused. During the cleaning process of mold
growth, one should avoid much exposure at the time of cleaning as this may be
hazardous for the health of an individual.
