Common Chores Helps Prevent Mold in Homes!

Washing and Scrubbing on a regular basis could have prevented this kind of build-up

Dust can be a structure’s worst enemy, which could consist of a number of particles that we can’t see:

• Pollen
• Dirt
• Hair and skin cells
• Food
• Bacteria

Carried throughout the air, dust lands and rests on surfaces within the interior of a structure.  Joined with moist temperature, this combination starts to build up within its own environment, beginning the early stages of Microbial Growth, better known as Mold.  The ideal environment for mold to grow is dark space, with moist temperature, and no ventilation.  If not treated accordingly, the spread of mold can cause more problems which could possibly ruin other areas of your home.

Keeping up with household chores is instrumental in preventing mold growth.  The following good practices help get rid of dust from surfaces, eliminating chances for mold infestation to even begin:

• Vacuuming / sweeping / mopping floors;
• Wiping up spills;
• Washing and scrubbing walls; and
• Repairing Water Loss Leaks.

In addition, it’s also highly recommended to ventilate your home often, by airing out bathrooms, laundry rooms, kitchens and bedrooms, etc., as this also contributes to keeping a well-balanced home environment, free from condensation build-up and moist/damp settings.
