Molds can be found almost anywhere. They can grow on virtually any substance, provided moisture is present. There are molds that can grow on wood, paper, carpet, and foods.

Prevent condensation. Reduce potential for condensation on cold surfaces (windows, piping, exterior walls, roofs and floors) by adding insulation.

02/21/2013

Clean mold off hard surfaces with water and detergent, and dry completely. Absorbent materials that are moldy, such as carpet or ceiling tiles, may need to be replaced.

02/20/2013

Clean and dry any damp or wet building materials and furnishings within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold growth.

02/19/2013

Reduce indoor humidity (to 30%-60%) to decrease mold by venting bathrooms, dryers, and other moisture generating sources to the outside, by using air conditioners and dehumidifiers, by increasing ventilation, by using exhaust fans whenever cooking, dishwashing, and cleaning.

02/18/2013

Fix the source of the water problem or leak to prevent mold growth.

02/15/2013

If mold is a problem in your home, you must clean up the mold and eliminate the source of moisture.

02/14/2013

There is no practical way to eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment. The way to control indoor mold growth is to control moisture.

02/13/2013

Potential health effects and symptoms associated with mold exposure include allergic reactions, asthma, and other respiratory complaints. Dead mold may still cause allergic reactions in some people, so it's not enough to kill the mold; it must also be removed.

02/12/2013

If you choose to use disinfectants or biocides, always ventilate the area and exhaust the air to the outdoors. Never mix chlorine bleach with other cleaning solutions or detergents that contain ammonia because toxic fumes could be produced.

02/11/2013

In most cases, it is not possible or desirable to sterilize and area; a background level of mold spores will remain, and these spores will not grow if the moisture problem has been resolved

02/08/2013

Biocides are substances that can destroy living organisms. The use of chemical or biocide that kills organisms such as mold (chlorine bleach for example) is not recommended as routine practice during mold cleanup. There may be instances, however, when professional judgment may indicate its use (for example, when immune compromised individuals are present).
