Hello World! Welcome Friends! There’s no denying that mold is a common problem for most households. Mold seems to strike when and even where you least expect it, and it can feel like you’re fighting a losing battle to stop it from coming back time and again.
However, the good news is that you can take some actionable steps to keep mold out of your home and ensure your indoor air quality remains good.
With the above in mind, take a look at the following tips and tricks to help you achieve a mold-free home:
Keep Your Home Clean
It might seem like common sense to you, but some people may have a lax cleaning regime. The reason might be down to not having enough spare time, or they might not be able to do so for medical reasons.
However, if you’re unable to clean your home regularly, it’s worth asking or paying someone else to do it for you. Why? The answer is simple: mold spores seldom grow in clean homes, especially in clean bathrooms.
Have a HVAC System Installed
It’s a well-known fact that high humidity levels provide the perfect breeding ground for mold to grow and spread.
If you live in an area where you regularly experience high levels of humidity, you should ask your local heating and cooling services firm to install a HVAC system for you.
That’s because air conditioning removes moisture in the air and reduces humidity. Moreover, having a HVAC system in your home will also make temperatures more comfortable during the summer.
Open Your Windows Every Day
Another practical step you can take to keep mold at bay is by opening your windows each day. When you wake up every morning, you should open the windows throughout your home as part of your daily ritual.
Doing so will allow fresh air to circulate in your home and reduce the levels of humidity indoors. Plus, the fresh air coming in will increase as the older stale air from inside makes its way out through your open windows.
Clear the Clutter
Does your home have a lot of “stuff” everywhere? If so, now is the time to find proper homes for the things you want to keep, and throw away or sell the items you don’t want.
How can having too much stuff in your home create a mold problem, you might ask yourself?
The answer is simple: objects that cause poor air circulation in your home, such as stacks of boxes or paperwork, can provide the optimal conditions for condensation to occur and mold to grow.
Fix All Water Leaks In Your Home
Lastly, if you have any leaking water pipes in your home, you need to get them sorted out sooner rather than later. Firstly, leaking water pipes will only get worse over time and could potentially rupture and cause flooding in your home.
Secondly, the leaking water will eventually cause mold to grow and thrive. Lastly, fixing pipe leaks helps you save money on your water bills.
