Mold Is in the Air
Mold is a fungus that releases spores into the air. Mold spores are everywhere, in fact, floating in the air and eventually landing on surfaces. Every house and building in the world has mold spores in it, including yours. There is no way to get rid of each and every mold spore in Orlando. It’s impossible to clean all mold spores out of the air in your home. While it may be unpleasant to think about, there’s always going to be some level of mold floating in the air around you.
Preventing Mold Growth
Mold spores are everywhere floating around, but mold doesn’t grow everywhere. Why is this? You see, mold spores need specific conditions to grow. Mainly, they need moisture and darkness. While you can’t avoid each and every mold spore in the air, you can avoid having mold growth in your home by preventing those conditions from happening in your house.
Get Rid of Mold Spores
An effective way to eliminate mold spores is by using an air purifier with a HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filter. Hunker tells us that this kind of filter could clear up to 99.7% of mold spores and other particulates from the air. While that number sounds pretty great, it is important to remember that the efficiency of the filter will depend on the size of the specific particulates in your air.
A small HEPA air purifier is probably powerful enough to get rid of mold spores in a small room, while a larger HEPA purifier or even multiple units may be needed to clean the air in a room that’s more than a few hundred square feet. For optimal results, you will want to place purifiers in each room of your home to ensure you’re killing as many spores as possible.
