- 1). Remove all furniture and personal items affected by mold from the mobile home and place the items you want to throw away in plastic garbage bags. Wear rubber or latex gloves and a painter's facemask during this process.
- 2). Fix any leaks in the home. These repairs should include broken or leaky pipes, faulty window seals and roof leaks.
- 3). Use a household cleaner specifically for killing mold on small areas of the home and personal items affected by mold per the instructions that come on the cleaner's bottle.
- 4). Place a fan on the areas affected by mold that you just cleaned, along with a dehumidifier in each applicable room, until each area and item is completely dry.
- 5). Replace any carpet and carpet padding affected by mold damage with new materials.
- 6). Replace the walls and insulation in the mobile home that experienced mold damage.
- 7). Install an air conditioner in mobile home as part of the remodel project in order to prevent future mold growth.
