Is Mold removal and cleanup safe during pregnancy?

Remove mold soon, ideally by someone else. If you do it, wear an N95, gloves and goggles, and ventilate well.

What the sources say

MotherToBaby advises removing household mold as soon as possible and considering asking someone else (or a professional) to clean if you are sensitive to mold or cleaning products. If you clean: wear an N95 respirator, non-porous gloves and unvented goggles; open doors and windows and run fans; use a commercial mold cleaner or 1 cup bleach per gallon of water on hard surfaces; never mix bleach with ammonia or other cleaners; discard porous items wet more than 48 hours that can't be cleaned and dried.
