What Is Mold?
Molds are microscopic organisms found virtually everywhere, indoors and
outdoors. Most people think that mold is slimy, blackish-green discolorations
that gradually increases in size, but found only in dirty, unkempt homes or
apartments. The truth is, mold and spores can flourish in sparkling clean
environments as well.
Where mold can be found.
We’ve all seen mold; ugly stains of white, orange, green,
brown and black spreading on walls, floors and other surfaces. But the most
dangerous mold is the mold we can't see. Mold and mildew is inside your sink
and dishwasher cabinets and probably in your bathrooms and laundry areas.
There is an 86% chance of mold growing somewhere in or on your refrigerator.
Its nestled into the microscopic crevices of clothing, furniture fabric and in
your carpeting. There is little doubt that mold spores exist in your heating
and air conditioner system ductwork from where mold is continually dispersed
throughout a home or building looking for a place to “plant” its self and
grow. It can be found in your window sills, basement, crawl space and attic,
office desk, indoor plants, kitchen counter space, on the TV, in your
fireplace and countless other places.
SHOULD YOU BE CONCERNED ABOUT MOLD IN
YOUR HOME OR OFFICE?
Yes! Eventually,
mold will destroy whatever it grows on. It can ruin furnishings, destroy
cabinets and cause serious damage to the structural elements in your property.
Mold is extremely durable and adaptable. It can survive in the harshest
conditions and is resistant to even the strongest disinfectants and bleaches.
Eliminating leaks and moisture can slow the spread of mold, but testing to
determine the type of mold is the first responsible step in creating an
effective action plan.
