Where Does Mold Grow Fast?
Mold is a tiny organism that eats organic matter. In nature, mold helps break down leaves and other plant debris. It releases spores to reproduce. Mold becomes a problem when spores get inside a moist, humid and warm area and begin feeding on material in your home. As it grows, you can become affected if you have allergies or asthma. If the type of mold in your home has toxins, it can also cause fatigue, headaches and irritation to the lungs. To control the mold growth, you need to dry out your house and find the spots where mold growth is likely. Find mold where you find moisture. Molds can grow on any moist, damp surface. They grow on dirt, paper, leather, soap scum and other organic material. Mold can grow in temperatures between 32 and 95 degrees F, but they grow faster in warm temperatures with high humidity and a lot of condensation. Look for mold in bathrooms. Mold grows on walls, shower curtains, tiles and grout. Ceramic tile, fiberglass and soap scum are the worst culprits. Sh
