Most of us have heard of mold, but don’t really know much about it. If you live in an area with high humidity, then you should always be on the lookout for potential mold problems. Until it makes it sick, or we notice that something in our refrigerator or cupboard has grown a layer of green fuzz, we don’t really think about it. The fact is mold is a living fungus that exists all around us. It grows in our houses, often unseen, and we should really have a good mold disinfectant on hand.

Mold spreads easily because it sends out tiny spores that the air carries everywhere. The spores are invisible and their goal in life is to be warm, damp, and find food. The trouble is many common materials in our homes are what give them life.
