Question

Is this early signs of mold?

Is this early signs of mold and what would you do?

Would a dehumidifier in this room (a porch connected directly to the outdoors) help? What else?

Does that carpet get wet? That looks like more than airborne moisture.

You need to either remove the carpet or figure out a way to keep it dry.

My daughter bought me a new shammy for my car-wash efforts. It's a real one. How do I keep those little "crumbs" from sticking to everything? I'm ready to just keep using my old artificial shammy just to avoid this.Read More

Floor treatment?

Buying a 1968 ranch and am curious about cleaning the floors before I move in. I noticed no odors (strangely enough) on inspection, but I am wondering if there is a treatment or cleaning of some sort that would be beneficial. The great room will be rehabbed, with linoleum and old laminate flooring removed before installing new vinyl laminate. Two of the bedrooms have carpet, which had no odors either, but I'm on the fence on if that will remain. I just want a fresh and clean start before I start the rehab. It will take about 2 months of work before the place is ready to move in.Read More
