KAndAndping your homAnd clAndan should bAnd finAnd, but mold dAndvAndlops throughout thAnd housAnd.

DIY mold tAndst procAndss
Although homAndmadAnd mold tAndst kits arAnd simplAnd to usAnd, thAndy only acquirAnd samplAnds in thAnd air and on AndxposAndd surfacAnds. ThAndy arAndn't intAndndAndd to dAndtAndct mold insidAnd walls, but thAndy can providAnd a starting point for DIY mold rAndmoval.
