Do I need a professional to clean mold on ceiling?
Hi ladies, I think this is my first post on this board but in need of some serious cleaning advice. After Hurricane/Tropical Storm Irene our apartment got a small amount of mold on the ceiling in the kitchen (not by the stove but above some cabinets). It's a small patch of dark black mold. Our apt has high ceilings so I cannot reach it with a stepladder I would need to either borrow a big ladder to reach it or kind of just take a stab at using some kind of pole (i.e. swiffer) to reach it (but am worried if I dislodge it might be a kitchen hazard). Should I get a professional to come here? I told our landlord but he has not done anything about it. Is this really hazardous? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have no idea how to go get rid of it.

I think your landlord is legally liable to take care of this and do it the proper way. Maybe he/she is not realizing how bad it is. I'd request they take care of it again and express just how bad it looks. You can clean with bleach and water but it could be deeper than just exterior and cause lots of issues down the road so needs a professional to look at it. (we've had lots of hurricanes here!)
