So you have proper containment setup and you are controlling the humidity with a dehumidifier. Now you need to decide what type of mold disinfectant to use and how to apply it. If you are removing mold from inside your living space make sure all Sheetrock that has visible signs of mold or water damage are removed but before you do that, fog it with a really good disinfectant to help reduce mold spores from spreading.
