PROTECT YOUR HOME AGAINST MOLD PERMANENTLY

Mold is a small living organism in the form of fungus that's grown in any conducive space, including both indoors and outdoors. Molds are the kind of microorganisms that are attracted to the moist environment but tend to thrive better in a damp climate. These organisms breed in different colours such as black, green, orange, white, and purple.

It is most likely to be found in shady places, especially in damp areas like the kitchen, the bathroom, ceilings, and wall interiors (both the wall and the wallpaper). It can also extend to grow on your personal properties such as clothes and food supplies, which is always a result of broken pipes, leaky roofs, and windows in terms of accumulated moisture.

Molds are just as common as pest infestations but pose no threat to human health, but it may result in petty illnesses such as minor fevers, which is in the form of allergies or symptoms to allergies. This occurs when molds have already contaminated the food supplies, personal properties, or anything close enough to the human respiratory system.

MOLD PREVENTIONS

• Regular Inspection:  Always inspect the fittings in the household premises for watermarks on walls, hoses, and pipes to avoid dampness. It is advisable to consistently change the tubes to the main appliances in the time frame of every four years, at least. The constant change to primary machines such as the pipe to the sink, hoses in the washer, the water dispenser, the refrigerator, bathroom sink, the toilet pipes, and other available water hoses, limit dampness welcoming molds.
  • In terms of proper inspection, look out for the roofs' holes to prevent water from dropping in whenever it rains. Also, look out for the buildings; underground water mostly comes up unnoticed, especially when there is a carpet installed. Proper inspection prevents the accumulation of unseen dampness.
• Ventilation Installation:  The installation of a ventilation fan, also called the exhaust fan, is a useful tool to molds, giving them the least chance of existence. The ventilation fan keeps molds out of spaces that are likely to be moister like the kitchen and bathrooms.
• Moist absorber installation:  Using tools like the moist absorber, air conditioner, dehumidifiers are also useful in keeping the moisture level in the home below 50%. This tool should be used in open living spaces.
• Regular Sanitation:  Sanitation tends to be the solution to any problem, especially molds. A mature mold is in the result of accumulated organisms attracted to moisture. While cleaning areas like the bathroom and the kitchen, the use of bleach and other mold substances wipes out any mold development.
• Use Mold Inhibitors:  This process is only valid if the mold is treated and removed before applying the Paint. Unlike most scenarios where people rub paints on mold-infested spots does not kill the fungus, It hides it and gives it a chance to expand from within the painted wall. Mix the inhibitor solution with bleach and spray it on the mold-infested area, leave the windows open for proper ventilation. The fume of bleach solutions with the ventilation tends to be unpleasant to the molds.
• Proper Precautions After A Flood:  Floods are events that are is unpredictable but can be controlled by taking quick reactions in Removing stall water. Stall water is a factor that breeds microorganisms faster and healthier. After a flood event, the environment unkept tends to leave signs of watermarks, which means its the spot to which microbes are likely to occupy.
