Controlling mold allergies:

Reduce your exposure to mold and mold spores.

Use exhaust fans in bathrooms to reduce the humidity levels.

Use mold-killing solutions in bathrooms and shower stalls, on bathroom tiles, shower curtains, around the bathtub and toilet tank.

Use paint with a mold inhibitor, or add a mold inhibitor to standard paint for use in baths.

Replace bathroom carpets with tile or linoleum.

Check tree bark for mold before using it in a home fireplace or wood-burning stove.

Use a chemical moisture remover in closets.

Never put away wet shoes or clothing.

Use exhaust fans in the kitchen to remove cooking steam and food vapors.

Repair all water leaks promptly.

Use a dehumidifier to keep the relative humidity below 40 percent to deter mold growth.

Install a high-performance electrostatic filter in your central air conditioning and heating system to trap mold spores and inhibit mold.

Never put damp clothing in closets or drawers.
