Outdoor spores aren&#8217;t generally a cause for concern except during summer months, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sternmold.com\/blog\/2019\/11\/04\/does-interior-mold-grow-in-the-winter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">prolonged exposure to indoor spores<\/a>\u00a0can pose a health risk any \u00a0time of year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Controlling Mold Spore Levels<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not possible to eliminate all indoor mold spores. Since mold growth generates more spores, preventing infestations will keep spores at a manageable level.<\/p>\n<p>Moisture is key to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sternmold.com\/blog\/2019\/09\/30\/learn-about-the-mold-life-cycle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mold growth<\/a>. Once a spore lands on a spot of moisture, it begins reproducing immediately. Be proactive by repairing leaks, cleaning up floods and spills and reducing the amount of humidity.<\/p>\n<p>If you do find mold in your home or business, cleaning it up is only part of the solution. Determine what created the conditions for mold development, such as a leaky pipe or poor ventilation, and take appropriate steps to correct the problem.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Turn to Stern Mold for Safe and Effective Manhattan Mold Removal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Put an end to mold with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sternmold.com\/blog\/2019\/09\/16\/what-to-know-about-moldexterm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">two-step MoldExterm program<\/a> which removes infestations and leaves a barrier to prevent reoccurrences. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sternmold.com\/free-mold-treatment-quote.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Contact Stern Mold<\/a> today for a free inspection by our cheerful and experienced Manhattan mold removal experts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mold spores pose a double threat to homes and businesses.
