  For the home owner dealing with their insurace company  4
  
I am a Certified Microbial Consultant (mold inspector) and board member of the American Indoor Air Quality Council. I have this book in my library.

This is a good book for the consumer. It's an easy read with short, concise recommendations for the home owner unfortunate enough to have a mold problem. It also lists some of the key points on where to look for mold and how to prevent mold. Very useful section on how to deal with a insurance companies.

  LACK OF INFORMATION  2
  
I"m looking for a book to find out how do I do to prevent/control mold.

I'm already aware of the risks mold brings to my family and would like to know how to deal whith it in every days bases. Instead, the autor recomends me to contract especialists and be careful whith several aspects of my insurence apollicies.

I want to prevente the need of specialists and I'm am hoping not to have to use my insurance!

  Bad information in the book!  1
  
I am a Mold Inspector and work with Remediation firms on a daily basis to remediate molds in homes, offices, etc.
I have read this book and it should be revised to correct the FALSE information given about using common household bleach to clean-up mold. Bleach is ONLY good to clean-up mold on smooth, non-porous surfaces such as glass and plastic. It is obvious that the author did NOT due her homework on the best mold remediation products available. To find out what product should be used to remediate mold, buy another book about mold, such as Black Mold - Your Health and Your Home. This book reveals the problems with using bleach products and correctly informs the homeowner on an environmetally safe and readily available product to clean-up minor mold infestations in the home.

  Excellant Book!  5
  
Easy to read and understand for the average person. Very helpful in dealing with this serious problem. A must buy!

  Knowledge is power  5
  
I wish this book could get into the hands of all Americans! Most people are totally unaware of the range of health problems mold can cause. Many people feel sick and too often do not realize that the cause of their illness stems from mold presence in their own dwelling or workplace.

This book shows how insidious mold problems can be. Mold can be growing behind drywall and you don't even know it! Yet you're experiencing health problems as a result. And unless your physician is educated on this topic or knows your home has mold growing, finding a correct diagnosis is challenging. This book arms you with the information you need.

Vicki Lankarge's book lists several of the top places in your home that may be harboring mold - and she tells how to get rid of it once and for all! She provides fascinating items of interest throughout the book, one of which explains what the "mummie's curse" means. I'll leave it to you to solve that mystery by buying the book! I highly recommend this helpful book as it accurately covers a topic everyone should be knowledgeable about - since it involves their health and wellbeing.
