I found mold all over the walls in our South Bend home. Is there a way to remove it without polluting the indoor air? We all have allergies.

Removing Mold Safely
Removing mold without polluting indoor air requires that you seal off the area you intend to clean very well. Before you start cleaning be sure you have a respirator, long pants and shirt and rubber gloves to clean in. Lightly spray the moldy area with a little water to moisten the mold so that the spores are less prone to becoming air born during your cleaning process. Use a fungicide cleaner following all the manufacturers directions and warnings to remove the mold. Throw away all cleaning materials in heavy plastic bags, double bagged. Wash all clothing and anything else that may have come in contact with the mold. Be systematic and be very thorough.

Is there a method for identifying the dangerous black mold(that freaks out insurance agents) and the regular old mold that will not hurt anybody?
Most houses have some mold, some where. I don’t think it is possible to clean your house of all mold, but I would certainly get rid of it if it was in living spaces.
fert advice looks good
ferst advice pluss put fans in the windows fans will blow the spores out side. double bagging sounds little exsesof becouse once its out side its no longer a problum.
