Mold growth can be sneaky, especially when you live where there is a higher humidity level, as the Commerce, GA area. For mold to grow, it only requires a little food and water, and it will flourish. It’s not a surprise to find mold growing in the basement or behind baseboards or drywall after a flood, but there are some unexpected and hard to detect areas it can grow. Check these unusual places for mold in your home.
- Refrigerator drip pans are one place easy to forget because it’s out of sight. Food and moisture collect in the drip pan and creates a perfect environment for mold.
- The gasket around front-loading washing machine doors creates another perfect mold-growing environment. There is lint to eat, and the gasket often stays wet.
- Window sashes and seals, where dust and dirt collect and add some condensation and mold will grow.
- The brick crevices of the chimney collect dirt, debris, and water where mold can flourish.
- Places where dishes are stacked, such as grouted tile. The grout and cracks will stay wet, especially if dishes are washed daily, and create a nice mold-growing environment. This may not be visible until it’s grown out of control.
- Air conditioners trap pollen and dust, good food for mold, and moisture from the air and mold can grow in the AC drain pans and ducts.
- The rubber seal around your dishwasher is another mold-growing culprit to watch.
