Tips for a Mold-Free House

Saturday, August 14th, 2010

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, mold growth can exist practically anywhere. Whether you are inside or outside, mold spores are there. They can enter your home through openings as large as doors or windows, or as small as the tiniest gap you ever chased with a caulk gun. Once in your home, the spores can grow on clothes, shoes, toys or even pets. Worse yet, mold is almost certain to release clouds of potentially harmful spores that, once airborne, can take the shortest path to your lungs.

With an air cleaner or air filter for your house you can keep your home healthier for everyone and protect yourself and your family from the harmful effects of pollutants.  With proper controls your home can stay more comfortable for less money when connected properly.
