Indoor Air Quality
RETRACTION: Last week, we inadvertently shared an article for removing mold that suggested the use of Bleach. NTAA Staff and members advise against the use of Bleach and instead promote the use of Green Cleaning products and methods. ITEP offers several classes that include information on mold and indoor air quality. These courses can be found HERE.
