HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) -

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommend that people take precautions when cleaning mold from a home that has been flooded.

If you see mold that covers more than 10 square feet, the CDC recommends you consider getting a professional to remove it.

You can clean a small amount of mold yourself with a solution of no more than one cup of bleach to one gallon of water. Use the mixture to wash things such as floors, stoves, sinks, certain toys, countertops, flatware, plates, and tools.
