1. Ineffectiveness: Consumer products, such as bleach or vinegar, may appear to clean mold on the surface, but they do not penetrate deeply enough to eliminate mold spores completely. This can result in incomplete removal and allow mold to grow back quickly.
2. Health risks: Many consumer products used to remediate mold can pose health risks when used incorrectly. For example, bleach can release harmful fumes, and mixing bleach with other chemicals can result in dangerous reactions.
3. Property damage: Some consumer products can also cause damage to building materials. For example, bleach can discolor or weaken fabrics and surfaces.
4. Lack of knowledge: Homeowners may not have the knowledge or expertise to properly use consumer products for mold remediation, which can lead to incomplete removal, ineffective treatment, and further contamination.
5. Insurance coverage: Many homeowners insurance policies require professional mold remediation in order to be covered. Using consumer products for mold remediation may result in denied insurance claims and additional costs.

Overall, it is best to leave mold remediation to the professionals who have the necessary expertise, equipment, and safety protocols to effectively remediate mold and minimize health risks and property damage.
