One of the most frustrating issues that can arise with a house is the significant growth of mold. Some types of mold grow inside or under surfaces, making complete mold removal a difficult and tedious process that should be handled by professionals. Mold is often confused with mildew, which is relatively less harmful than mold. Whether it’s mildew or mold, though, the key to keeping your home from growing these nuisances in the first place is by controlling the moisture in your home.
Keeping the humidity level of your home under 60 percent is very important. If you don’t know what the humidity level of your home is, and you suspect you may be having an issue with mold, there are simple devices that can help you monitor the situation. Some ways to reduce humidity in your home (and thereby reducing/eliminating mold growth) include running a dehumidifier, cleaning, disinfecting, and drying surfaces in your home regularly, and improving the airflow in your home.
