Well, the issue might be that you are using the wrong tools to solve your problem. Often are times when homeowners can’t differentiate between rust and mold. In this post, you will understand how to differentiate these two and also the easiest ways to get rid of them. Mold vs. Rust You can easily tell a mold based on the area it has formed. Note that molds are likely to grow in damp and humid areas. On the other hand, rust forms on metallic surfaces that are undergoing corrosion. A mold or mildew easily grows in areas such as the basement or bathrooms. There are well over 300 types of mold you might encounter in your home; some of them leave stains similar to those of rust. Mold also tends to appear in different colors ranging from black, brown, pink, orange, blue or even green. Its physical appearance also varies from fuzzy to downy while some mold could be having slimy or powdery texture.

Getting Rid of Mold and Rust While rust causes corrosion thus wearing out equipment, mold can have serious health effects. To avoid any serious damage, it is important to detect these two and deal with them appropriately. Choosing the right cleaners depends on whether the rust is light or heavy. Baking soda and vinegar can help get rid of light rust while mild abrasives such as steel wool can easily remove surface rust. Avoid using bleach to remove rust as this might cause a reaction that could worsen the situation. If you need help getting rid of stubborn rust, call professional house cleaners such as Chalcot to take off the rust for you. Removing mold is entirely different from getting rid of rust.
