Mold is a type of fungus that can grow indoors and outdoors. Mold can enter your home through open doors, windows, vents, and heating and air conditioning systems. Mold can also be carried into your home on clothing, shoes, bags, and pets.
Mold spores are invisible to the naked eye and can float through the air. When mold spores land on a wet or damp surface, they can start to grow. Mold can grow on almost any surface, including wood, paper, carpet, food, and insulation.
Mold can cause health problems, especially for people with allergies or asthma. Mold can also damage your home and belongings.
The best way to prevent mold is to control moisture. Fix leaks and other sources of water. Keep your home clean and dry. Ventilate wet areas such as bathrooms and laundry rooms. Use a dehumidifier in damp areas such as basements.
If you see mold, do not touch it or try to smell
