Tips to Stop The Spread of Mold

7/1/2022 (Permalink)

• Keep humidity levels as low as you can—no higher than 50%--all day long.
• An air conditioner or dehumidifier will help you keep the level low.
• Bear in mind that humidity levels change over the course of a day with changes in the moisture in the air and the air temperature
• You will need to check the humidity levels more than once a day.
• Be sure your home has enough ventilation.
• Use exhaust fans which vent outside your home in the kitchen and bathroom.
• Make sure your clothes dryer vents outside your home.
• Fix any leaks in your home’s roof, walls, or plumbing so mold does not have moisture to grow.
• Clean up and dry out your home thoroughly and quickly (within 24–48 hours) after flooding.
• Add mold inhibitors to paints before painting.
• Clean bathrooms with mold-killing products.
• Remove or replace carpets and upholstery that have been soaked and cannot be dried promptly.
