MOLD & MILDEW GUIDE

What is Mold & Mildew?

Mildew

is a thin, usually black, sometimes white growth produced on many kinds of surfaces by molds.

Molds are simple plants belonging to the group known as fungi. Although molds are always present in the air, those that cause mildew need moisture and certain temperatures in order to grow. They commonly develop in damp conditions, especially in enclosed areas. These molds grow on anything from which they can get enough food. In homes they develop most often on:

*	Cotton	*	Wool	*	Leather
*	Linen	*	Wood	*	Aluminum
*	Rayon	*	Paper	*	Walls
*	Silk	*	Wallpaper	*	Window Frames

Mildew Breeding Grounds

Molds can cause mildew flourish wherever it is damp or relatively warm, including:

*	Clothes Closets	*	Linen Closets
*	Basements	*	Idle Boats
*	RV's	*	Vacation Homes

As the molds grow, they cause considerable damage. Mildew mold secretes an enzyme that decomposes organic matter and uses it for growth and reproduction. They often leave a musty odor in clothes and their growth causes unsightly black stains and rot.
