Can I Test For Mold Myself?:
Yes, most home supply stores have do-it-yourself mold testing kits readily available. These kits can be used to test the air quality in your home. Although not a substitution for professional inspections they can be used in between professional inspections allowing for more time between the more costly professional inspections.
Essential Preventative Measures: The most essential preventative measures may sound like common sense. They include but are not limited to: ridding your home of any standing water, scrubbing appliances (like refrigerators, humidifiers, etc) with antibiotic soap, cleaning your AC unit regularly, regularly changing your floor mats and shower curtains.
As you can see, conducting routine mold inspections should become a part of your routine home maintenance schedule. If left unchecked, mold can cause enormous issues with not only your health but you home as well.
Taking care of your health is never too important. By cleaning up mold you will improve the health of you and your family in your home.
