Prevention of Mold Exposure
Preventing mold exposure, especially for those with mold allergies, involves controlling moisture in your environment. Keep humidity levels below 50% using dehumidifiers and air conditioners. Quickly fix leaks and water damage to avoid mold growth. Ensure good ventilation in bathrooms and kitchens. Regularly clean and dry surfaces that may collect moisture, such as sinks and shower curtains. Use mold-resistant products when renovating. If mold becomes visible, clean it up carefully or seek professional help. Avoid outdoor mold exposure by staying indoors on damp, windy days or when mowing grass, and consider wearing a mask if you're sensitive.
