Mold N’ More touts the benefits of a solution that it says cleans and disinfects much better than bleach

Founded in 2005 by former Lower Merion police officer and teacher Bill Young, Mold N’ More covers the Mid-Atlantic states. Run with Young’s two sons and a nephew, the company’s customer base has been in private real estate.

Young, 67, of East Fallowfield, is often called on to appear as an expert witness in cases throughout the Philadelphia region.
