Mold and Mildew Tips
The key to mold control is moisture control. It is important to dry water damaged areas and
items within the first 24-48 hours to prevent mold growth. If mold is a problem in your home,
DO the following:
- Once you become aware of mold or mildew, act
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
- Clean up the mold and get rid of excess water or moisture
- Fix leaky
plumbing
- Clear clogged roof gutters
- Wash mold off with detergent and water and dry completely
- Dehumidify: reduce indoor humidity to 30% - 60%
- Keep air conditioner drip pans clean
- In affected areas, increase ventilation using fans
- If you can smell mold but can't see it, follow your nose. In some cases, mold may
be growing in hidden areas such as the backside of walls, the top of ceiling tiles,
or underneath carpets.
