Dehumidify Your Home
Dehumidifying is necessary to create an environment that does not allow mould to grow. To dehumidify your home, I advise you to install a dehumidifier, keep fabric mats out of areas with excess moisture, including basements and bathrooms, shower with cold water and avoid storing wet laundry in laundry baskets.
Ensure no Part of Your Home is Leaking
Another good way to protect your home from mould is by ensuring your gutters, basement areas, pipes, and drains are not leaking. A wet winter season and leaks provide an accommodating environment where mould can grow and develop.
Perform Mold Testing
Mould testing allows you to know whether mould particles are present in the air and on surfaces in your home. Once you find the mould particles, you can adopt strategies to eliminate mould and keep your property and family safe. Still, you can hire professional mould testing services if you cannot perform mould testing.
