As the temperature begins to rise as summer is approaching – so is moisture and humidity. Mold thrives in moisture so keeping your home dry and lowering your humidity can help prevent mold spores from growing.

Tips

• Keeping your home clean is essential – mold only needs moisture to grow. Keeping your surfaces clean prevents the mold from growing.
• Control Humidity – Mold cannot grow without water, so controlling the humidity in your home is key! This is more difficult in the summer months, especially if you live in a high humidity area. Check your exhaust fans to ensure they are working properly and open your window while showering can help reduce moisture.
• Keeping your home cooler in the summer months (low 70’s) can prevent mold from growing.
• Check for any leaks.
