The new year is here, leaving the holiday season behind. After all the parties and gatherings, what’s left is the tedious task of packing decorations and putting things back in order. Carpets are cleaned, floors are vacuumed, sheets are washed, and the entire house is cleaned from top to bottom. As every corner is inspected and dusted, one may find mold silently growing out of sight.
There are many factors that cause mold to grow after the holiday season:
- Moisture. Moisture is present all year round. Excess moisture can come from burst pipes, roof leaks or ceiling water damage, and flooding events. Holiday cooking activities also utilize a lot of water and can be a source of increased humidity.
- Changes in temperature. While Florida doesn't experience winter the same way other U.S. states do, it can get cold in north Florida in January. This causes your A/C to cycle less frequently, increasing humidity levels.
- Christmas tree mold. Live or real Christmas trees have mold spores on them. When trees are brought inside the home, these mold spores can disperse and cause growth in conducive surfaces. It is advised to keep trees inside for a maximum of seven days (one week) since after the seventh day comes an exponential increase in mold count.
When you find mold indoors, it’s tempting to remove it all on your own. However, you may end up scattering mold spores and worsening the infestation. The best way to deal with mold after the holidays is to call a professional to eliminate it.
