Three Ways To Combat Mold

Having a mold problem in your house is at best aggravating and at worst an extreme health hazard. Small mold spots can seem easy to clean, but if not cleaned properly they can return and continue to grow. Now, there are many factors in play when it comes to mold, but here's three to start with: 

If you have a way to monitor your home humidity level, keeping it below 60% humidity can make a huge difference. Also check for ways to improve airflow, such as moving furniture away from walls, opening windows, and turning on a fan. 

If mold is already growing, the only way to combat it is elbow grease. Mix one part bleach to three parts water, get a industrial sponge and go to town. Scrubbing the effected area as hard as you can is the only way to ensure all spores are removed, thereby decreasing the likelihood of a returning problem. 

If all else fails, hire a professional. Mold is not harmless…it can cause major sinus and respiratory issues. This danger is only increased for people who have other respiratory concerns. Don't wait. If you have a mold problem that is out of your control, get in touch…we can help!
