About Cladosporium
Cladosporium is one of the most common outdoor and indoor molds, appearing as olive-green to brown colonies. It enters homes through HVAC systems and grows on damp surfaces in humid Florida climates.
Health Effects
Generally less toxic but a frequent trigger for allergy and asthma symptoms, especially in sensitive individuals.
Common Locations
HVAC ducts, bathroom ceilings, window sills, and painted surfaces with condensation.
Professional Removal Method
Surface cleaning with EPA-registered antimicrobials, HVAC cleaning, and humidity control.
Don't disturb it. Agitating Cladosporium can release a large burst of spores into the air. If the affected area exceeds 10 square feet or anyone is experiencing symptoms, contact a licensed Florida mold remediator before attempting any cleanup.
