6/20/2017 (Permalink)

The summer heat and humidity is here in eastern Connecticut and no one wants mold to creep in their homes. Here are some simple tips to keep in mind to keep the mold out:

1. Keep your home clean
   Mold likes moisture, so make sure your surfaces are clean and dry.
2. Keep the humidity under control
   Running fans, air conditioners and a dehumidifier can keep your home free from mold and keep you comfortable when the heat and humidity are high
3. Keep the air moving
   Circulating the air in your room can help to prevent mold from growing, especially when using the shower, stove and other appliances
4. Keep an eye out for condensation
   Look in areas for condensation and clean immediately to stop mold before it starts
5. Take care of any leaks
   Leaks create moisture and mold loves moisture, so repair any leaks you find right away

Mold tends to grow in hard to see places, particulariy inside walls and under carpets or flooring.
