SERVPRO Tackles Active Mold While Offering Prevention Tips

Many of the activities the typical family engages in every day while at home in Miami seem harmless, and unable to damage the residence. However, some house cleaning methods can make some problems worse.

Some housekeeping practices, such as feather-dusting or using a non-HEPA filter on the vacuum cleaner, can quickly spread microbes within a residence and cause substantial mold damage in Miami. Because the small size of the spores permits them to remain airborne for long periods of time, they can also spread farther than you might expect.

Also, because spores come in such a small size, they also easily find their way into spots that aid them in avoiding your detection. Once in an enclosed area, microbes can soon grow out of control. The areas that seem to develop substantial mold colonies include those behind large appliances and pieces of furniture, as well as on the floor below these items.

Part of the problem persists in many homes because of a lack of air circulation to these locations, which would otherwise dry out any moisture that accumulates in such locations. Moving larger household furnishings away from the wall can increase air circulation and solve the situation before it becomes too severe, however, doing so can create a safety hazard for small children.
