Ways to Prevent Toxic Mold :

Index 1 | 2

The following are some ways that help you to reduce the expansion of toxic mold inside your home:

1. Repair all the water leaks.

2. You need to circulate the air, specifically in bathrooms and showers

3. Keep the humidity level in your home below 60%

4. Clean the water immediately resulted from spills or leaks.

5. Flow logic system: This system monitors the water usage in your home. For example, the system automatically shuts the water supply, if it finds water flowing for more than 30 minutes.

6. You need to forward the water from the sprinklers away from your home and make the use of gutters for passing the wastewater.


7. During summer season, you need to set your air-conditioning system above 77 F degrees. It reduces the temperature on walls, ceilings and floors.

8. Use ceiling fans in summer, as they lessen the risk of condensation on walls and this will make you feel comfortable.

9. You need to clean the metal windows, as water condenses within these windows during winter. You also have to regularly take care that wallboard is free from moisture.

10. Even if you find any small patch of mold in your home, remove it using water and bleach and let it dry completely. If you find any larger mold area, you need to call a toxic mold specialist to carry out a specialized test.

11. Make sure that the HVAC system and the air conditioners are kept clean as mold gets accumulated in these systems. This is because they are dangerous and can hurt your eyes badly.

12. Use air-purifiers to purify the air in your house, as air purifiers can lessen the particles of airborne mold spores.

13. A number of anti-mold products or paints are easily obtainable these days, which oppose the mold or moisture at a specific level. You can use such products to prevent the mold.

These are the ways by which you can prevent the building up of mold in your home
