u have mold in your home, you need to figure out if it's growing on your furniture, clothing, linens, equipment, tools, books, and any other possession. Mold infestation of these items can be an enormous because it can re-contaminate cleaned-up areas or spread to other parts of the house, not to mention increase the overall level of mold hazard in the home. Now the task begins of finding out how widespread the mold is and exactly where it's growing.
Mold is often found on wood and fabric, especially on unfinished wood surfaces, such as the inside of dresser drawers, the undersides of tables, and upholstered furniture. Debris that accumulates in upholstered furniture, such as bits of spilled food, soil from shoes and clothing, pet dander, and skin flakes, serve as food for the mold. Mites take up residence there too.Curtains and shades are often exposed to mold because they're up against cold windows and condensation. If they're washable or dry-cleanable, you may be able to salvage them. But if they still smell musty or still have stains after cleaning - throw them away!
Carpet and Area Rugs -If you have wall-to-wall carpet, and it stays wet for several days, it has a very good chance of breeding mold. This is why having your home and it's contents dried out in 24-48 hours is critical following a water event.
