Mold growth
Mold easily grows in really dark and damp corners. Having them around puts health safety at risk. Since mold is a fungus, it creates spores to reproduce. Inhaling high concentrations of these spores can be harmful to someone, which is why mold removal is important.
While it’s less worrisome for your home’s exterior aesthetics, it is problematic inside your house. Since sunlight does not directly hit your home’s interior, mold growth can be rampant, especially in places such as the bathroom, cupboards, wardrobes, and more.
Basically, where there is moisture, mold can grow. Ceilings, floors, carpets, and unused clothes are often victims of mold growth.
Molds do not exclusively thrive in cold temperatures alone. They can still grow in warm environments. In both cases, mold can begin growth and reproduction in less than 48 hours where moisture is excessive.
