Tips to keep Mold from growing in your house.

7/21/2016 (Permalink)

Below are some great tips for you to try in your house if you want to steer clear of inviting Mold into your home.  If you have any questions we are always Here to Help at SERVPRO of St. Clair Shores at (586) 741-5050.

Specific Recommendations:

  • Keep humidity levels as low as you can—no higher than 50%--all day long. An air conditioner or dehumidifier will help you keep the level low. Bear in mind that humidity levels change over the course of a day with changes in the moisture in the air and the air temperature, so you will need to check the humidity levels more than once a day.
  • Use an air conditioner or a dehumidifier during humid months.
  • Be sure the home has adequate ventilation, including exhaust fans.
  • Add mold inhibitors to paints before application.
  • Clean bathrooms with mold killing products.
  • Do not carpet bathrooms and basements.
  • Remove or replace previously soaked carpets and upholstery
