Regularly clean and dry any areas that may become damp, such as shower stalls, sinks, and around windows. Mold can begin to grow on wet surfaces within 24-48 hours, so timely action is crucial.

Make sure your home is well-ventilated, especially in moisture-prone areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms. Use exhaust fans or open windows to reduce moisture buildup.

Address any water leaks in your roof, walls, or plumbing as soon as they occur. Even small leaks can lead to mold growth if left untreated.

Keep indoor humidity below 60%, ideally between 30-50%. Use dehumidifiers and air conditioners, especially in humid areas like basements and bathrooms.
