Answer 2

You will only get harmed by black mold if you have an allergy but to be safe to you and other people you should clean it up maybe  just purchase Mold Killers for 17.79$ and clean area where the mold is growing from. but  for the cheapest way  I would take some bleach and a rag or course sponge and rub it right out or use a pot scrubber nylon pad.

The EPA recommends AGAINST using bleach...

Check out the remarkable research on toxic mold removal done by environmental expert Dr Ed Close. Simply diffusing a therapeutic-grade essential oil regularly will likely result in an environment very hostile to mold.

Cost of the Thieves Household Cleaner that Dr Close recommends to his remediation clients: about $30.

Professionals can be called environmental professional, environmental engineer, industrial hygienist, or indoor air quality specialist.

Answer 4

Mix a quart of bleach and a cup of TSP into a gallon of water.  Wash the floor with this mix then rinse with clean water.  The bleach will kill the mold.  The TSP is a detergent that helps the bleach penetrate the mold.  I wouldn't worry too much about using any special safety gear.  Its only one floor.  Its not like long term occupational exposure.
