How to Prevent Mold in Your Home

Maybe you’ve noticed it in the shower. Or maybe, while in bed at night, you caught a glimpse of it in the corners of your ceiling. Maybe you found it hiding in your paper towel holder. The where may vary, but one thing is for sure, mold and mildew are commonly found throughout the home.

While you can reverse the effects of mold after it’s been established, it can be costly and usually require professional help (and plenty of your precious time!). Which means the best course of action is prevention. Below are five ways you can help prevent the growth of mold and mildew in your home.

Invest in antimicrobial products

The best line of defense is investing in products with antimicrobial technology that protects against mold. These products, like anything that features Microban technology, are built to become inhospitable to microbes, meaning mold and mildew don’t ever have a chance to start growing. Plus, Microban protection works for the life of a product, so whether you’ve used it for 10 days or 10 years, you can rest easy knowing mold won’t have a chance to make way into your home.

Your floors should be no different. TORLYS flooring is backed by Microban’s antimicrobial product protection, keeping floors cleaner between cleanings!
