She is well known in the region for outstanding customer service protocols — winning the 2017 Better Business Torch Award for Ethics & Integrity —and her energetic support of green cleaning practices.There is no eco-friendly way to kill black mold. Black mold is also extremely dangerous if you inhale the pores. For these reasons, it is not recommended that you remove black mold yourself. However, if you do decide to tackle the job yourself, be sure to wear a respirator. Seal the affected area off from the rest of your home to keep the black mold from spreading. You’ll also need a special black mold removal product, since the stuff under your sink will not kill mold.
