Mold is a problem that no one wants to deal with.  mold remediation can be dangerous, messy, and expensive.  The best way to keep oneself from being required to use these services is to concentrate on mold prevention in the home.  This can be accomplished by taking some easy preventative steps.  First, if water spills, act quickly.  Take action in order to dry out the affected area, including vacuum, fans, and dehumidifiers.  The gutters of a home should be kept clean and free of debris, and make sure that the ground slopes away from the house in order to prevent water from pooling around, and leaking into, the foundation. The relative humdity indoors should be set as low as possible.
