Summer can produce the perfect environment for moisture, mildew, and mold to grow in your home or office. It is scary to think that mold can go unnoticed, even for years, causing respiratory problems even in healthy individuals. These problems include, but are not limited to, nasal stuffiness, throat irritation, coughing, wheezing, asthma exacerbation, and upper respiratory problems.
Here are some of our favorite tips for keeping your space mold free for summer:
- Ventilate areas with high humidity levels
We all know that mold loves moisture, so be sure to help minimize this by ventilating those areas and letting in that fresh summer breeze. - Get your carpets cleaned
Getting your carpets cleaned can be a great step to minimizing the amount of mold in those areas, but reducing the risk of mold is just one benefit to getting your carpets cleaned. You will also minimize any allergens or germs that could be coming in to your space, via foot traffic, pollen from the outdoors, etc. We offer in depth carpet cleaning at Summit, where we reach all surface areas of your carpet, including those hard to reach areas, behind and under office furniture. Who knows what is hiding under there! - Have indoor Plants
