    Bleach.

    Most insurance companies do not cover for mold abatement anymore.

    it can be knocked down with bleach and water solution, in a spray bottle.
    as for the mold it’s self,why so much of it? It growes in wet dark places, and no doubt is slowly destroying your house.
    yes, talk with your insurance people, and a mold removal company…soon…

    2 parts water 1 part bleach. Spray affected area and wipe off residual, careful not to let overspray contact carpets or drapes.

    Here in the south we have a real problem with black mold. However, instead of using bleach, you should use amonia – 1 part to 1 part water….There is a chemical or something in bleach that will actually enhance the black mold to grow back after you’ve washed it down.

    Good luck

    You should find out why you have this mold problem. It can be very dangerous. Mold actually grows, so there might be some, probably is behind the walls. TSP which you can buy at any Hardware store will remove it., but some of the walls or structure behind the walls might have to be removed. You should have a professional advise you. Cleaning what you can see may not be helping because it is growing where you can’t see. Maybe a leak?High Humidity? Best of luck, hope you get this resolved quickly.
