KEEP YOUR HOME MOLD FREE
Experts are saying that not only is mold in your home bad for your health, it can also impact the re-sale value of your property. Here are a few tips to follow to keep your home in good mold-free condition:
1. The best mold prevention is elbow grease. Wipe down bathroom walls and get under sinks using cleaning products that discourage mold growth.
2. Ventilation fans were created to get moisture away from steamy bathrooms, so make sure yours are doing a good job.
3. Keep gutters clean. Dead leaf buildup is a great place for mold to thrive.
4. Insulate ducts. Conditioned air going through ducts can form condensation. Any moisture buildup will cause mold to grow which will eventually affect the air quality of your home.
The extra effort you make to keep your home free of mold will pay off in the end with a healthy house for your family and added value when it comes time to sell.
