Mold. A foul-smelling, sneaky menace, this fungal villain has a knack for growing in your home without a proper invite. Mold is a silent danger that affects many homes, whether on that old loaf of bread you forgot about in the back of the pantry, or along the edges of your bathroom grout after months of soap scum and steamy showers. Worst of all is the hidden mold that makes its way behind walls or underneath flooring, which often goes unnoticed until it’s too late. 

Simple cases of mold growth can be easily cleaned away, like on food or washable surfaces, however other cases of large-scale mold growth take greater effort to completely remedy. And what about the side-effects of this mold on you and your household? How do you know if this indoor mold is making you sick?

Let’s take a look at typical household molds, symptoms of mold exposure, and how to get rid indoor mold so you can say goodbye to this dirty, dangerous intruder in your home!

COMMON HOUSEHOLD MOLD

Mold is a type of fungal organism that grows both outdoors and indoors, blooming from airborne mold spores that seek out ideal places to germinate and spread. While outdoor mold is completely natural and very necessary for breaking down plant and animal matter, indoor mold is often seen as more of an unwanted disturbance over anything else. A few of the most common types of indoor molds found in the home include:

• Cladosporium – Brown, green, or black in color, this mold is commonly found on wood, carpets, or fabrics.
• Penicillium – With a fuzzy blue, green, or yellow appearance, this mold is common to surfaces affected by water damage.
• Aspergillus – Green, white, or gray powdery texture with dark spots characterizes this mold species, and it forms on fabrics, walls, attics, and basements experiencing poor ventilation.
• Stachybotrys chartarum – Also known as ‘black mold’, this toxic mold species thrives in moist, cellulose-rich buildings with humidity and water damage.

The perfect breeding ground for mold is somewhere humid or moist, with little to no airflow, and often dark. Think of basements, attics, laundry rooms, and bathrooms, which typically experience the most moisture or lack of proper ventilation. Mold spores can enter through openings of doors, windows, and HVAC or exhaust fan vents, as well as attach to clothing, bags, and other belongings that came from outside. Once indoors, the mold spores travel through the air and latch onto any prime growth spot they can find. 

WHAT TYPES OF MOLD ARE HARMFUL?

It is a common belief that the dreaded ‘toxic black mold’ found in any home is worst-case-scenario due to the health dangers of this fungus. Despite what you may think, no specific mold is much more ‘harmful’ than another. Certain types of molds are classified as toxigenic molds, as they release mycotoxins that trigger allergic reactions and exposure symptoms. Nonetheless, all molds should be treated equal in the sense that you want to remove any type found in your home as quickly as possible. Even molds classified as “non-toxic” can still trigger allergy symptoms and irritation from exposure.

It is typical for every home to have at least a little mold, whether on a surface or in the air. It can come through doors and windows, or on your clothes and belongings as you come indoors, and it can further form via humidity from poor ventilation or moisture from unexpected flooding or water leaks. Allowing these optimal conditions to exist is what leads to mold growth and mold exposure within your home, which is why it can be so valuable to know exactly how to prevent future mold growth.
