Mold FAQs: Can Mold Be Removed From Porous Surfaces?

FAQ: Can mold be permanently removed from porous surfaces?

Sadly, the answer is no. Mold CAN be successfully cleaned and removed from hard surfaces, such as glass, metal or stone. But, once mold has taken hold of a porous surface - for example: sheetrock or carpet padding - then there is nothing to be done except to remove the porous surface.
