Molds and mildew
Molds and mildew grow in damp, dark places. Molds and mildew can cause lung problems – especially in people who have allergies or asthma. You can prevent the growth of molds and mildew in your home by controlling humidity.
Tips on mold and mildew
Control moisture. Use a dehumidifier during the summer. Use an exhaust fan in the kitchen and bathroom. Vent the clothes dryer to the outdoors and make sure the vent pipe is not clogged.
Fix plumbing leaks before mold grows.
Don’t store firewood inside. Bark contains millions of mold spores.
