Was cleaning an apartment with black mold and dead cockroaches, how should i safeguard against any diseases from this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cleaning mold/roach: If you do this for a job, please check in with your employer about safety precautions. For the casual home owner, i would recommend eye protection, proper footwear, gloves, and an n95 particulate mask that will filter out most inhalants. Immediate shower and change of clothes afterward is recommended.
