Waiting before wiping reduces harmful dust generated during mold cleanup. Killing mold is distinguished from removing mold contamination. Conventional remediation is criticized for focusing too narrowly on wet drywall and chemical treatment. After spraying vinegar on mold, the treated area should be left for 15 minutes before cleanup. The best remediation standard remains contested, especially for sensitive occupants. Spraying and wiping mold immediately is discouraged. Removing wet drywall can leave mold byproducts behind after the active growth site is gone. Bleach and similar killing approaches are criticized because dead mold fragments may still provoke reactions.
