How to Make your Glenbroke Townhome

Mold-Resistant

Do you know that there are more than a thousand types of molds found in homes and building throughout the US, including Bridgewater NJ homes sold? Though some molds are relatively harmless (but they surely look unpleasant), the very worst of them, typically referred to as toxic molds, can lead to blindness, brain damage or possibly even death.

The presence of molds on walls, ceilings and window surfaces can be easily prevented through regular housekeeping of your Glenbroke Townhome in Bridgewater NJ. But in order to control mold growth, it is necessary to control either the food source or the moisture source. Here are some simple ways that you can take to make your home mold-free.

Control the Food SourceMold may feed on dust mites, insect fragments, dead skin cells, pollen and other organic matters inside. Some building components may contain excellent food sources for mold. These may include paper, wood products, greases, wall paper glue, fabrics and others. To control the food source inside the home, you may:

● Regularly clean surfaces where dust

accumulates

● Change your HVAC filter often

● Use vacuum with HEPA (High Efficiency

Particulate Air) filter on carpeting and

upholstered furniture items

● Use damp cloth instead of feather duster to

avoid spreading dust

● Allow sunlight in

Control the Moisture SourceMoisture is a mold's number one ally and is often produced by a variety of everyday activities such as bathing, laundering, humidifiers and others. Too much moisture in the air (high relative humidity) leads to unwanted condensation on cool surfaces of your house. When the moisture drips down, it can leak on wall cavities causing hidden mold growth on wood and paper backed wall board. To prevent this from happening in your residence, you should:

● Fix leaks● Dry wet clothes immediately● Open your windows on warm, sunny

days to increase ventilation● Ensure that the temperature in your

home is warm to prevent condensation● Keep your air HVAC systems clean
