How to Prevent Mold Growth in Your Closets

12/8/2020 (Permalink)

Mold can grow anywhere in homes, including closets. Moisture can accumulate in closets, providing a breeding ground for mold growth. 

• Make sure that clothes are completely dry before storing them in closets. The moisture in clothing can accelerate mold growth.
• Don’t store items on the closet floor to prevent trapping moisture underneath them.
• Empty, clean, and dry closets thoroughly on occasion. Doing so ensures you keep them fresh and aired out, reducing the possibility of mold growth.
• If you have a humidity problem in your home, use the air conditioning unit or a dehumidifier to remove excess moisture from the air.

Don't let microbial growth take over any part of your home! Make sure to regularly check damp places and help them dry out if you can. If you experience mold call SERVPRO right away.
