Improperly performed removal of moldy materials can make the problem MUCH worse.

So when we ripped out moldy flooring, wood and drywall and tossed it in the trash we were doing something wrong?

My husband took out the moldy stuff, replaced it with non-moldy stuff and now my house doesn't stink. My oldest son is allergic to mold (we had only lived in the house 1 week before we discovered the problem) and he's been fine.

If it worked for you, I'm glad. Others who have tried similar approaches have mostly succeeded in spreading the microscopic spores into other areas.

The most important thing at this point is to make sure you have determined and corrrected the source of the moisture intrusion that caused the mold growth.

The best single source of info is from the EPA at http://www.epa.gov/iaq/molds/mold_remediation.html
