How to Keep Mold and Mildew Away

9/15/2021 (Permalink)

Most of of us experience humidity either in our homes, places of Business, Rv's and even in Boat cabins. When high levels of Humidity are present, microbial growth can also take place. Mold and Mildew can grow where there is moisture, low sunlight and poor ventilation. Here are some ways to help keep those conditions low: 

Keep humidity levels low ( between 30%-50%) as you can. Air conditioners and dehumidifiers can help keep these levels low. 

Be sure that you have enough ventilation. Exhaust fans that vent to the outside of your home or business. 

Fix any leaks in your roof, windows and walls that you can, so that mold doesn't have a chance to start growing. 

Try not to use carpet in areas that may have higher moisture or humidity levels such as in a basement. Carpet can hold moisture and create a good environment to have microbial growth.
