A Guide to Mold, Moisture and Your Home" is an information guide created by the Environmental Protection Agency and offered by NAR that contains recommendations for how to remove mold and prevent it from returning.
Targeted at real estate practitioners, consumers, and association executives, the guide focuses on raising awareness about mold, describes why mold grows in a home, and offers tips and techniques for cleaning up mold. The booklet recommends not only what a homeowner can do to clean up mold, but also when a professional might better handle cleanup.
The guide discusses testing for mold in the home, and reviews hidden mold and what to do about it if it's located. It also provides recommendations on controlling moisture in the home and how to prevent further mold damage.
