Hey everyone, I recently sublet an apartment, and there’s an exposed pipe in the bathroom that has what looks like dark spots on it. I’m worried it might be mold, but I’m not 100% sure. I have a few questions and would really appreciate any advice:

  1. How can I tell if it’s actually mold? Any simple ways to test this without special equipment?

  2. How should I clean it if it is mold? I’ve heard bleach might work, but I don’t want to damage the pipe or cause any fumes in the small bathroom.

  3. How bad is mold exposure from a pipe like this for health? I’m a little worried since I’m living here full-time, and I want to make sure it’s safe.

  1. You encountered it like that when you moved in, correct? In any case, contact your landlord, send pics.

  2. I am sorry, I don’t see any pipe here! 😉

    But on a serious note, this is not fun. You should inform your landlord as soon as possible.

  3. It is mold. Maybe use Essigessenz or call the pros.
