Mold in your home
Posted in Mold Growth on April 28th, 2009 by admin – Be the first to commentIn nature, mold growing is a normal thing to occur. But it is abnormal for mold to grow in our homes.
Now how does that happen?
Spores are the reason why mold can multiply. Spores, produced by mold, create mold allergy and other sicknesses connected to mold exposure. Mold itself cannot cause that.
When spores are released into the air and land on a surface that can provide water, air and food, mold reproduces and grow.
And that’s exactly what happened to our homes. An abundance of spores simply drift in through open doors and windows, pushed by the winds. By the way, we also bring indoors spores that settle on our clothes and shoes.
Mold spores constantly find their way into our homes but we can halt its growth by making sure the conditions it needs to germinate are absent.
It is cheaper to prevent mold growth than to remove mold that has already grown in our homes.
