In the time of a global pandemic, it’s essential to make sure your living space is well-cleaned and sanitized. To avoid adding insult to injury, be sure additional cleanliness risks are prevented from intruding on your home. Issues like mildew and mold can trigger a variety of health issues, and it’s important to know the facts before moving forward. The details surrounding mold and mold remediation can be a bit foggy and confusing.
To effectively target a mold problem, here’s what you need to know about mold:
- It is present almost everywhere, whether indoors and outdoors.
- Mold spores are microscopic and float through the air. They often enter your home through windows, doors, AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
- The spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
- Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
- Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead to possible structural damage.
- Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
