Mindful Monday: Protecting Your Home from Mold in the PNW
Living in Humboldt and the greater Pacific Northwest means we enjoy beautiful, lush surroundings — but the frequent rain and humidity can also create ideal conditions for mold. Being mindful of your indoor environment is an important part of maintaining a healthy home.
Controlling indoor moisture is key. Using ventilation fans in kitchens and bathrooms, running dehumidifiers, and opening windows on dry days helps keep air circulating and surfaces dry. Regularly checking areas prone to dampness, such as basements, crawl spaces, and around windows or leaks, allows you to address moisture early before it can contribute to mold growth.
Routine cleaning and thoughtful airflow also make a big difference. Wiping down surfaces prone to condensation, keeping closets and storage areas well-ventilated, and allowing your home to “breathe” whenever possible helps maintain a healthier living space. Mindfulness in how we care for our environment can directly support our overall well-being, making your home a safe and comfortable place throughout the wet season.
