Soap Cleanup 
 
Before disinfecting contaminated areas, clean the areas to remove as much of the mold (and food it is growing on) as possible.
 
         • Wear gloves when doing this cleanup.
         • Use a non-ammonia soap or detergent, or a commercial cleaner, in hot water,
           and scrub the entire area affected by the mold.
         • Use a stiff brush or cleaning pad on block walls or uneven surfaces.
         • Rinse clean with water. A wet/dry vacuum is handy for this.
