How can you clean and kill mold?
Joseph H. asked:
A bedroom in our basement became wet after a long period of rain. We opened the window, plugged in some fans, and turned on a dehumidifier. Within days, it seemed dry, so we moved the furniture back into the room. A couple weeks passed, and soon we noticed that black spots were appearing near the baseboards. A couple weeks later, the entire carpeting and lower walls were covered in thick, black mold.

Should we even try to tackle this ourselves? And if so, how do we do it? I'm worried about the potential health hazards of cleaning it. I want to make sure that whatever we do does not make the spores become airborne. I also want to make sure that all the mold is killed. Please help.
