Moisture, humidity, dampness -- all can cause mold to grow in your home. Try these tips to prevent mold buildup:
Mold spores can’t grow on dry surfaces. They need damp, wet spots to stick around and build up. Don’t let water hang around in your house. Wipe surfaces dry in the shower, clean up spills, and check for condensation on windows.Inspect ceilings and walls for water bulges or spots. Fix leaks in your roof or plumbing promptly so water doesn’t have a chance to feed mold growth.Be sure the air in your house is flowing well so humidity isn’t too high.
Both your kitchen and bathroom are great places for exhaust fans that vent to the outside. Instead of letting steam from cooking or bathing stick around to coat walls and cabinets, the fan pulls moist air outside.A hygrometer is a small handheld device you can buy to measure the amount of moisture in your home’s air. The goal is to keep humidity as low as you can -- ideally below 50% -- all day.When liquid spills on tacked-down carpets, it can be hard to get them dry.
