What surface must not be cleaned with a detergent solution as part of mold remediation?

Ceramic tile
Wood
Vinyl
Plastic

The correct answer is: Wood

Wood surfaces must not be cleaned with a detergent solution during mold remediation because excessive moisture can be introduced to the wood, increasing the risk of further mold growth. Wood is porous and can retain moisture from cleaning solutions, which can compromise the integrity of the material and potentially lead to more significant mold problems down the line. Instead, mold remediation on wood surfaces usually involves dry cleaning methods, such as HEPA vacuuming or wiping with dry cloths, to minimize moisture exposure while effectively removing mold spores. The other materials listed can generally withstand a detergent solution during cleaning. Ceramic tile, vinyl, and plastic are non-porous surfaces that can be effectively cleaned with such solutions without the risk of moisture being trapped and leading to further mold growth.
