Mold damage can be prevented!

SERVPRO® of Springfield is ready to help you be proactive in the battle against mold. Did you know that the bathroom is one of the most common indoor areas for mold growth? The lingering moisture created by showers and baths can leave behind mold that can leave you feeling less than clean.

Below are a few simple steps to prevent mold in your bathroom:

1. Properly ventilate your bathroom. If you have a fan, make sure it is on or open a window while you shower or take a bath.
2. After you are finished, allow the fan to run for at least 30 minutes to allow air to circulate.
3. Use mildew-resistant shower and window curtains.
4. Wipe down your shower after use to remove any lingering moisture.
5. Once a month, wash your shower curtain.
6. Remove damp laundry from the floor
7. If you notice any leaks, get them repaired ASAP.
