What cleanup method can be applied to every piece of material or furnishing affected by mold?

Scrubbing
Wet vacuuming
Damp-wiping
HEPA vacuuming

The correct answer is: HEPA vacuuming

HEPA vacuuming is widely recognized as an effective cleanup method that can be applied to a variety of materials and furnishings affected by mold. The high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter captures very small particles, including mold spores, ensuring that the contaminants are not recirculated back into the air during the cleaning process. This method is particularly suitable for porous surfaces, hardwood floors, and delicate furnishings where other methods might cause further damage or fail to effectively remove mold spores. Using HEPA vacuuming as a remediation tool is especially crucial in confined spaces where mold remediation efforts need to be cautious and thorough. It helps to ensure that any mold debris is properly contained and removed, significantly reducing the risk of cross-contamination within the environment. The versatility and effectiveness of HEPA vacuuming make it a preferred choice in professional mold remediation practices.
