How do you take control of mold and dangerous bacteria?
Lessees and Occupant Dependents must learn and understand their behavior of cleanliness and type of material stored in a basement, if any, are the causes of how quickly mold and dangerous bacteria grows in your home.
If you are experiencing fatigue, headaches, nausea or other symptoms, you are most likely more sensitive to the presence of molds and bacteria.
Basements are not water resistant because foundations move due to changing soil conditions. We recommend periodic checks of the basement, and if you notice standing water, please mop up and immediately report the leak.
The owner is not responsible for the control of mold because the owner is unable to control how often a Lessee or Occupant Dependent opens a bathroom window, use of the bathroom fan or unclean habits.
Please thoroughly read all the information provided by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. After you thoroughly study this information, you shall narrow down the reasons, and from there you can begin or take control of this situation.
The CDCP website shall provide you with all the necessary information to control mold in your home.
If a bathroom includes a shower area, the growth of mold may begin at the wall having a window. If there is a toilet close to this area, the mold may worsen while flushing with the lid up because of flushed up into the air organic decomposing items. These are the areas requiring regular weekly cleaning, or more often depending on the number of persons using the bathroom. Also, remove all wet rags or towels, and depending on your situation, you may decide to throw all of these items into the trash.
If the ceiling color changes to a blotch brownish color, the entire ceiling needs cleaning.
If your home includes a basement, and you store cardboard boxes, clothes and any other organic items, trash or liquids in the basement, immediately remove all items into the trash.
If you suspect a leaking roof, inspect the ceiling areas and immediately report any circular brown stains on the ceiling.
We recommend everyone in the home study the information provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Mold control is a combination of different efforts because its presence is a natural event similar to dust, and the fan is only one of those efforts. This Disclosure of Mold Control is only a summary of efforts to control mold and dangerous bacteria.
