4 Secrets to Prevent Pesky Mold Growth in Vista CA

There are many words to describe mold, but “beautiful,” “aromatic,” and “healthy” are certainly not them. In fact, mold would be the polar opposite of the latter adjectives: “hideous,” “stinky,” and “unhealthy.” Knowing this, who on Earth would encourage and desire the growth of mold within their home? Nobody!

How, then, can a homeowner ensure mold doesn’t grow on their property? There are many things that you can try, including the following:

  1. Dry Items Before Storage.
  2. Let’s face it, mold loves moisture. And since mold wants a moist environment, you can make it feel unwelcome by providing it a drier habitat. One way to provide that drier habitat is to make sure any items you’ve washed or items that are wet for other reasons are properly dried. This may require properly air-drying them or drying them off by hand. Either way, storing wet or moist items in enclosed places can absolutely trigger the onset of mold.

  3. Properly Disinfect Surfaces that are Prone to Mold
  4. Fabric, upholstery, and carpeting are sadly all especially prone to mold. However, with proper case, you can ensure mold doesn’t grow on these surfaces. Always make sure to properly clean, disinfect, and dry curtains, towels, clothing, couches, and other surfaces containing such materials. This is especially true if you’ve had mold on these surfaces before in the past.

  5. Make Sure Your Ventilation is Up to Par.
  6. Did you know that poor air circulation can lead to mold, or at the very least, enhance the growth of existing mold? Yes, it’s true! Given this piece of information, it’s critical that you provide adequate ventilation in your home to help prevent the growth of mold from the start and/or to give current growth of mold a little push to eventually disappear.

  7. Call Out a Professional Mold Removal Expert at the First Signs of Mold Growth.
  8. Even if you already have a case of mold, you still have a chance to prevent it, that is, in terms of stopping the spread of its growth. The best way to do that is to call out a professional mold expert. With their help, you can have any preexisting mold eradicated which, in turn, can prevent the future growth of mold as long as the underlying reason for the mold has been resolved.
