I am replacing floors that were coming off possibly due to high humidity. I live in a condo. This is what the concrete looks like. Is this mold? And can I clean it myself?

Top of shaving foam bottle

This is the top of my shaving foam bottle which I keep in my bathtub, aside from being a generally humid place and getting loads of water when the shower is used no clue what it could be.

I guess it's some kind of black mould which is common in very humid areas here, but I have never seen it making an actual hole in a plastic lid!

Is this dangerous?

Looked at a house that checks all the boxes except for this one spot where an ac window unit leaked and caused some water damage. I don’t know how long ago it was or how long it went undetected. Didn’t smell any mold but wondering if the dark areas is mold growth? The floor has buckled in one spot.

Apartment maintenance says this is normal and "our fault" for taking hot showers

We noticed a musty cat piss smell all over our apartment starting two days ago (we do have a cat but she's never gone outside her litter box before), then saw mold popping up starting yesterday. By this morning it already spread to the ceiling in the bathroom. Our apartment maintenance came by, took the vent covers off and left. They're saying that this is completely normal and that it's our fault it happened. We've lived here for a year and haven't done anything different in the last week. Wondering if anyone has any thoughts on if this is an air conditioning issue or possible roof leak (we live on the top floor)?

These pictures are one bathroom and the main living room vent, but the mold is in every single vent in the entire apartment.

Popcorn ceiling mold?

Hello!

One small section of a bedroom popcorn ceiling has some discolouration.

Would this be mold or something else?

Thank you.

I feel like I’m being gaslit by family members… but please correct me if I’m wrong Reddit. There was always a black marking on this popcorn ceiling but now there are more black spots showing up over time. Is it mold? If it’s not mold what could it possibly be? My sinuses and breathing are bad inside this house but they’re kind of bad anyways because of the region I live in and poor air quality.

I have a moldy wool jacket

And I love it.

The local dry cleaner wouldn’t touch it.

Is there an “at home” remedy? I washed it with borax, I’ve heard about adding vinegar to the rinse cycle. I even put it in the freezer while slightly damp.

Microwave?

Obviously I have no clue.

How do I clean this? I am definitely throwing the plushie away I simply do not care, but like how do I clean the wall. I informed my RA, we live in the PNW so it is very humid here, do I have to throw my bed set out if it touched it? Am I able to get it off my sheets?

I haven’t moved my furniture to clean in quite a long time; today I wanted to do a deep clean, and I found this under my bed (I also found a lost lipstick there, but the mold found it first)
