Cyndee- This is a great series of posts you are doing with local people on subjects people need to know about. Are these posts getting you more views based on the subject matter? 

Cyndee - you rock and you have some great contacts in the community giving your buyers and sellers an even better resource

Wow, now this is a great use of video and wonderful info on mold.

Cyndee I am so impressed by your blogging and your In-the-Know expertise and connection with local community experts!   I am inspired to do the same here locally.  

Give you a grape... and your turn it into a bottle of wine I tell you!!!

Great job!!

This is terrific information! Florida has serious issues with mold and mildew and this can be helpful to any reader.  Who would've known (on their own) to use peroxide vs. bleach?  Excellent tip!!

Two homes on my street alone had to use a service like this. In both circumstances it was the washing machine line to the water that broke.  Buy braided lines!

Cyndee, I never knew proxide would work. Does it work in the shower too ? Great interview.

Cyndee,

This is so important. Mold and Mildew is horribly dangerous, and easy to overlook.

Nicely Done!!

Katerina - my guess is yes because I know the people I interview share the info with their clients, friends and more. I am tracking now - I'll let you know how it goes.

Thesa - thank you for your kind words - I do think being a Clearwater community resource is part of what I bring to the table. When people buy and sell their home - they need reputable people to provide solutions to the problems along the way. Thanks you again.

Tracey - it's great to have you stop by and I appreciate your kind words. You never know when you're  implementing an idea if it will work out like you think.  

Katrina - I think it's a great way to share informaton about Clearwater businesses, services, things going on. I got to meet a famous local artist the other day and had my camera and now you know there's a video interview :-) 

Susie - there are so many things we don't know or understand about Mold - and I see it as one of the biggest exposures Clearwater home sellers have - especially with the right to sue the home seller for up to 5 years for anything that materially effects the value of a home.

All I can say is I've seen Matt and the Mr Dry Out team at work and they are definitely one of the best at Water Extraction (so you don't get mold in the first place) and the more expensive Mold Remediation (when problems are discovered)  

Chris - Wow - I hadn't even heard of braided lines - thanks for the tips - I need to check into it. It's definitely NOT something you can ignore. Ironically the Ozone machines he uses also kill bugs and insects too in the process if I remember right - just a bonus :-)  

Missy - I'll have to ask him to find out if we should use it in the shower too - great questions!!!

Very informative...with mold everywhere we could all benefit from this.

Good post, thanks for sharing it.

Take care and good luck to you.

Tom - We are seeing people we help buy homes being more and more aware and concerned about MOLD - like I said - I believe it's the most litigious issue facing most home sellers in the Clearwater Florida area. The scary thing is it's a problem where what you "can't see" should really scare you.   

Well How Do You Like That?!!?? Thanks Matt and Cyndee!! I'll be trying that tonight!

Armando - thank you for stopping by - I just spent the weekend camping in Ft Wilderness with the cub scouts so I know you guys deal with the same thing in the Orlando area. :-)   

Armando - oops the comments are acting funny today - I left the comment above :-)

Cyndee, Such an important post for everyone. The "M" word is such a scary word these days that most realtors in our area rather not deal with it, but I say bring it on. It's always better to be safe than sorry.

Lysa - Glad it was helpful - I spoke to Matt today and asked him about tile in bathrooms and he said that products like Tilex were designed there to do much better - this was most helpful on porous surfaces.  

Cyndee- Mr. Dry Out is certainly someone your readers want to know about. Mildew and mold should not be taken lightly.

Cyndee:

Mr. Dry Out sounds like a lucrative business for Florida.  You can always find mold down here for sure.

Cyndee,

I love your use of local subject matter experts.  If you don't have the knowledge you find someone who does.  That can be a valuable asset for your buyers and sellers in Clearwater. 

Cyndee - thanks for the information and link to his site!!! That will really come in handy!!
