Montpelier, Vermont - A few days after Irene, wet belongings cluttered lawns. Now, the wet is gone but that does not mean that mold is not lurking.

At a Statehouse forum, Thursday, mold expert Bill Turner's motto was just get rid of it. He said strip our carpet and ceiling tiles from flooded homes. That is because mold can grow in the porous spaces of those materials, almost impossible to remove.

Before you remove mold off hard surfaces, you should contain the area with plastic from floor to ceiling. Then, you can scrub it with detergent and water and let it dry completely.
