What steps can you take to prevent mold growth in your home? 🦠
Avoid keeping spaces stuffy! Run fans while using the shower or kitchen, and open windows to provide a breeze.
Keep an eye on plumbing, roofs, and gutters often. If you have a leak, take steps to prevent water from pooling/fix the damage as best as you can within the first 48 hours to have the best chance of avoiding microbial growth.
Keep air flowing! Don’t place furniture directly against walls.
If you have a humid area of your home, use a de-humidifier. Try to keep rooms at a humidity level of 30-60%.
Do not install wall-to-wall carpet in moisture-rich areas.
Open your windows often, but NOT when it is humid outside!
