westend, thanks for taking the time to point that out…

Your welcome. The pity is; the collective wisdom of a lot of industries, not just construction, is lacking. We could expand from the mold issues right to vehicle issues and really stretch the fingers from pointing. :B
The OP's situation will require a wholesale cleaning intervention, by the sounds of it. When I clean and treat an aggressively infested mold area, I primarily use three fungicides, unscented bleach, Lysol cleaner that contains Phenol (the old time version), and Listerine mouthwash. All three kill fungus and have different applicabilities. The easiest way to control mold and mildew is by eliminating one of the three things it needs to establish, that being humidity. Fungi have a very narrow range of humidity in order to propagate. Open all the windows and get the fans going to make sure all moisture is low. A dehumidifier is a great tool for this, also.
