Alleviating Fall & Winter Mold Allergies

Indoor mold can be a big problem in the fall and winter months when poorly-ventilated areas of the home experience heightened levels of humidity. Kitchens and bathrooms tend to be particularly prone to this problem thanks to hot showers and steam produced by cooking and washing dishes.


As outside temperatures decrease, condensation will start building up inside cold walls and windows. The result? Perfect conditions for mold growth and indoor allergies.

Other places mold tends to grow during in the cooler months include:

• Under the bathroom sink
• Inside shower stalls
• On bathtub rims
• Above the stove
