I have a white ring mark on my formica counter from setting a hot pan on it. Is there anyway to remove it short of installing a new countertop?

prema-white will get rid of the mold problems in your home including black mold you may have to put more then one coat on it, I have used it and have not had to repaint at all yet since I first painted in in 1996, when you put perma-white paint on it means perma -white, mold will be gone,you will have to clean the wall first bt where a mask so you not inhaling mold spores into your lungs, that was in my basement, in the bath room, tilex mold clener is good for cleaning in bath tub area and sinks, but when it come to the walls I will be using Perma-White

Bleach does NOT eliminate mold, check out the EPAs website on home mold repair. It may remove the surface mold, but it will regrow in that spot. You can buy inexpensive mold killing spray online, I got one for 15$ plus shipping, and it made a real difference. Find out what's making an area damp enough for mold too.

One caveat to this explanation is that unless you have been professionally trained in this discipline of decontamination you should have a professional help you to determine the level or extent of the damages within your home.
If you have any questions please refer to my email at remedial-solutions at hotmail dot com (remedial-solutions@hotmail.com). Please use this instead of my phone number on the previous posts, I will respond to questions as quickly as possible.

To answer another question that was posted regarding specific temperature of humidity dew points, there is no simple answer for this. We have seen mold grow in almost every climate from the southwest to the northwest, to the southeast to the northeast. All of these at varying temperatures, humidity levels and construction types. There are in fact varieties of mold that grow in the glacial ice caps. You may have even seen mold in your grandparentâs old freezer when you were a kid, you know the kind that were not frostless.

Before you paint over areas that were previously showing (VERY MILD CIRCUMSTANCES ONLY) mold, make sure that the area being painted or shellacked, or primed and painted is very dry. I donât mean dry to the touch or appearance. I mean that the humidity has been dropped significantly in the room before you cover any area. If the mold comes back after that you know you should have had a professional remove the drywall with remedial protocols being applied.
