Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Dr. Diane Mueller explaining why washing-machine mold is a candidate for DIY remediation: because proper technique can contain mold while killing it, avoiding spread. The speaker contrasts this with scrubbing mold from walls with bleach, which can disperse mold into porous materials and worsen contamination.
As far as washing machines. Washing machines are an area that you can DIY it, and some of that is because there's ways of keeping the mold very concentrated while you're killing it, so you're not spreading it around. See, what tends to happen if we are, say, scrubbing mold off of a wall using bleach, and if we put bleach on it, the mold pores spread throughout the wall. They try to survive, so that's problematic. So we can actually spread the mold around and make it worse with a washing machine. If you do it right, you're actually containing the mold while you're killing it, so you're not spreading it around. So that's one of the reasons you can DIY it.
