Things You Should Know about Mold:

You may experience allergic reactions, asthma, and other respiratory issues exposed to mold. Unfortunately, it is not possible to completely eliminate all mold and mold spores in indoor environments. The best way to prevent indoor mold growth is to control moisture levels. If you discover mold in your home or school, it is important to clean it up and remove sources of moisture.

To prevent mold growth, fix any water leaks or problems immediately. You can also reduce indoor humidity levels to 30-60% by venting moisture-generating sources, using air conditioners and dehumidifiers, increasing ventilation, and using exhaust fans while cooking or cleaning.

Additionally, it is crucial to clean and dry any damp or wet building materials and furnishings within 24-48 hours to prevent mold growth. If you find mold on hard surfaces, clean it off with water and detergent and dry it completely.

However, absorbent materials, such as moldy ceiling tiles, may need to be replaced.

Finally, to prevent condensation, reduce the potential for moisture buildup.
