Guest Speaker
Craig
Whittaker and Shawn Tucker from Environmental Solutions Group spoke on air
quality testing, namely mold. The number one misconception on dealing with
mold is using Clorox to clean the area; this actually causes the mold to
release its spores when attacked by Clorox therefore spreading the mold to
more areas to grow. It’s best to mix warm water with a mild detergent and
use a sponge or cloth to wipe up the mold.
