    Even though a mold certification is not required in my state, I want our customers to feel safe knowing they are hiring specialists that have taken the time to learn more about this matter and how to treat it if we encounter it at their house.

    When mold damage occurs in a home, it spreads quickly. It is hard to find the source of the fungus, this it got into my attention one time that I went to clean a bathroom for a customer and I believe that was the first time I saw a really bad case of mold. I knew it was mold , but I didn't know how to advice my customer regarding this problem, but he was so nice enough to say , it was ok, he will try to find an expert on that , since , at that moment I went there to clean his bathroom only and I didn't see it before on an inspection since he didn't have the time but it needed his bathroom to be clean. 

    Even though I didn't know how to treat it , I had a really good PPE , proper to clean it, now I am happy to say I know what exactly to do if I encounter a situation like that again thanks to this course
