When black mold is present, the main concern is to prevent further spread within the environment so it should not be disturbed and you should not attempt to clean it yourself. The most effective method of doing this is through containment, which is the process of creating a poly barrier around the area where the Stachybotrys mold is growing. This procedure is should be executed by a professional mold remediation company that can install a poly barrier in the space where the mold is present. This is so important because Stachybotrys spreads by releasing microscopic spores which spread into the air and onto surfaces throughout the home. If these spores are allowed to spread, you will continue to have black mold grow throughout your home. 

Mold-contaminated materials must be removed and disposed of because black mold does not just grow on the surface of the material; it has root-like tendrils called mycelia which penetrate the surface.
