Mold In One's House

The key to mold control is moisture control. It is important to dry water damaged areas and items within 24-48 hours to prevent mold growth. If mold is a problem in your home, clean up the mold and get rid of the excess water or moisture. Fix leaky plumbing or other sources of water. Wash mold off hard surfaces with detergent and water, and dry completely. Absorbent materials (such as ceiling tiles & carpet) that become moldy may have to be replaced.

The Jewish Medical and Research center has put out a wonderfull article about cleaning up mold. This is very good info to have after a Flood.

Mold likes to grown in warm damp places, Moisture controll and climate controll are very important, Mold can cause some serious health problems if it gets out of hand.
