} “Mold” from cover
But moisture is the primary catalyst for
mold growth. Mold cannot grow unless
humidity is extremely high or there is
a supply of water available. Excessive
moisture from flooding, broken pipes,
condensation, roof leaks or foundation
leaks is what causes the majority of mold
problems.
Red Potato Salad
Ingredients:
3 pounds red potatoes, cut into
chunks
1 cup low-fat sour cream
1/2 cup light mayonnaise
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon white vinegar
Since we generally cannot remove the
potential food sources or dramatically
change the temperature or the amount
of airflow in the places mold likes to
hide, your most effective prevention is
moisture control. A small plumbing leak,
roof damage or foundation crack can
provide all the moisture needed for mold
growth. Don’t delay making necessary
repairs.
How do you know if you have mold?
Mold usually gives off an unpleasant
musty odor produced by decomposing
organic matter. Of course, another
sign is if you see something that looks
like mold. Mold can be just about any
color; don’t just look for black or green
discolorations. Check any areas where
there is excessive moisture or humidity.
Remember any mold growing indoors
should be carefully and completely
removed. Caution must be exercised to
avoid spreading the contamination to
other areas. Of course the humidity or
moisture situation that caused the mold
should be corrected as soon as possible.
Otherwise the mold will return.
If you have questions or think you have a
moisture or mold problem in your home,
call ABC Cleaning as soon as possible.
We will help identify and correct the
problem and avoid further property
damage or health concerns.

SEPTEMBER 2013

require a purchase of two or more items.
}} Over one quarter of consumers
used more coupons in 2012 than
they did in 2011.
