- Check houseplant soil, make sure it is not always very damp. Mold loves moist soil.
- Keep firewood outside.
- Pay special attention to the basement, which is the part of your home mold is most likely to be a problem. Keep it as dry as possible. You may want to keep an air purifier in your basement. An air filter will not destroy mold, but an ion & ozone generator will.
