Hi Christie - There are several ways to get rid of mold, but most importantly, you need to address the root cause to keep it from returning. This article focuses on the bathroom, but is an overall great article that covers methods of how to remove mold, if bleach is safe to use, and how to prevent it from coming back. Hope this helps!

Where is the mold?
Hello. The links here are comprehensive and might be informative. I hope this helps.

It depends on the extent of the mold problem and yes, it can come back if the root cause is not treated properly. Here's a link on mold cleanup:

It all depends on the conditions and the remediation. If the conditions that promoted the mold aren't removed/changed, it will come back easily.
For DIY removal, a few things would be to get a dehumidifier. Clean everything with white cleaning vinegar. Circulate air as much as possible. We have a house that was closed up and had it on all the walls and cabinets. These were the only steps we took and it didn't come back. Removal was almost immediate.
To get rid of mold, the conditions have to be changed for it to not exist, this link shows how to get rid of mold, it depends on humidity (which mold loves), air circulation, and remediation.

Hi Christine, depending on what type, where the mold is and how it came to be, it could take anywhere from 1-5 days for a company to remove mold. If a professional company is doing it, they should be able to get to the route of the problem and either fix it or have a contractor fix it. Once it is fixed properly so that it can't happen again you should be all good to go and it won't come back.

Hello!
Unfortunately, mold needs to be fought for a long time, and in fact, if it has already appeared, then you can be sure it will appear again.
If you can only eliminate the factor that is causing the mold, then it is possible to get rid of it altogether.
And so I'll tell you that this is a constant struggle ((
Mold will always come back unless you find the source of the dampness.
Not sure if its just a small amount on tile very fast but if its in your walls contact a expert. https://www.familyhandyman.com/project/how-to-remove-mold/
It depends on how severe the mold problem is, and I believe it can come back if the area is prone to moisture.
Hi Christie, you should see within minutes, A bleach solution also works to kill mold. Mix one cup of bleach in a gallon of water, apply to the surface and don't rinse. Mix a 50/50 solution of ammonia and water. Spray on the surface, wait two to three hours, then rinse.
