What are some recommendations to reduce the likelihood of mold growth indoors?
Recommendations:
- Keeping your space open, clean and dry will prevent mold growth and will reduce the amount of dust, dust mites, particulates and other allergens in the air.
- Operate your heating/cooling units within proper parameters. Do not leave windows open during cold weather while running the heat, not during hot weather while running the air conditioning.
- Never leave damp material like clothes, towels or shoes on the floor or any other surface, they give an ideal environment for mold.
- Don’t overcrowd your space with furniture and other items. Keep all furniture and other materials away from heating/cooling units to allow proper airflow and to prevent creating dark, cramped spaces where mold can flourish.
- Immediately report any leak or sign of water intrusion or suspected mold that you notice.
