Mold in the home is a potentially serious health hazard — not just something to wipe away or ignore.
For some individuals, especially those with genetic susceptibility, ongoing mold exposure can contribute to sinus symptoms, airway irritation, fatigue, brain fog, sleep disruption, and chronic inflammation.
So instead of asking “How do I clean it?”
Ask:
➡️ “Where is the moisture coming from?”
Because the rule is simple:
No water → no moisture → no mold.
Certain building features can make mold more likely: flat roofing, inadequate drainage, enclosed bathrooms without ventilation, and slab foundations without v***r barriers. These can all increase moisture retention inside the home.
And beyond design, everyday moisture sources — humidifiers, recurring bathroom steam, under-sink leaks, window condensation, and rain sneaking in under balcony sliders — can also contribute.
A simple place to start is adding a dehumidifier — especially if you live in a coastal or humid region.
Keeping indoor humidity around 40–50% — and below 55% — can make a meaningful difference in preventing mold growth while still protecting airway comfort and sleep.
