According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), ” 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.
Here are six tips to help keep mold at bay:
- Act quickly when a water leak or spill occurs by ensuring wet or damp materials or areas are dried within 24 – 48 hours, as this in most cases, will prevent the growth of mold.
- Keep indoor humidity low (ideally 30 – 50%).
- Moisture-generating sources should have vents to the outside.
- Keep areas in homes and offices well-ventilated – open windows on dry days to let fresh air blow in.
- Avoid storing items in damp places.
- Direct water away from buildings by ensuring that the ground around your homes and offices are sufficiently sloped away from the foundation.
