PRIORITIZE THIS 3 AREAS TO REDUCE THE CHANCES OF MOLD BUILDUP
Mold are fungus that have different types. They can occur both indoors and outdoors. They produce spores, which spread by floating around in the air. They can grow on variety of surfaces, including fabric, papers, wood, glass and plastic. Molds eat the materials they grow on; those materials end up damaged or degraded.
It is crucial to prevent mold infestations in your home or commercial building. However, you cannot do it by preventing moisture alone. Mold is unable to digest inorganic materials such as concrete, glass and metal, but it can digest and grow on the dirt, dust and organic residue that accumulates on them, so it is important to clean your home or business regularly.
- General Surfaces
Mold feeds on any organic material around. Dust is one of these prominent, which is composed of bacteria, dead skin cells, soil and more. Dust gathers on surface that is not cleaned regularly. Regular cleaning of the entire location is important. Target obvious surfaces and tight corners where dust accumulates.
- Air Vents
The best way to prevent mold air in your air duct is to keep the HVAC ducts clean. When your ducts go a long time without being cleaned, mold can begin to build up and impact home’s air quality for the worse. When it comes to cleaning your ducts, contact HVAC professional.
- Carpets and Rugs
Carpeting is an area of the home that can be at risk for mold growth, Mold needs moisture, oxygen, a food source and a surface to grow on. If spores land on a wet or damp area that contains dust, mold growth will follow. Carpets and rugs can provide an ample breeding ground for mold if conditions are right. Prevent mold growth with dedicated carpet cleaning and vacuuming. Place mats in each entrance to reduce carpet contamination.
