Moms Talk Q&A: Protecting Your Family From Mold

How do you get rid of and prevent mold in your household?

Mold can be a major problem in our clammy Coastside climate. If it's in your household, you might not even see it, especially if you're only looking for it on your ceilings; it may also appear on walls within reach of young children. Wherever it appears, it can cause health problems for you and your family. 

Elizabeth Sendil, 10-year resident of Pacifica, full-time mom and member of the Pacifica Mothers Club, asks, "What kinds of mold issues are you facing or have you faced in your home and how did you deal with it? Did you bring in a professional? Can you prevent or fix a mold problem without one?"

Please, share your advice and experiences in the comment box below. Also, if you have any additional questions about household mold and the health problems it might cause, ask away!
