Mildew Control
Mildew is a thin, often whitish to bluish-green growth produced by molds on many surfaces. Molds are simple plants belonging to the group known as fungi. Though molds are always present in the air, those that cause mildew only need moisture and a certain temperature in order to grow.
Molds that cause mildew to flourish in areas that are damp, warm, poorly lighted or where air is not circulated: basements and crawl spaces of houses. They also grow on draperies, rugs and shower curtains -- anything from which they can get enough food. This includes cellulose products such as cotton, linen, wood, paper and protein substances such as silk, leather and wool.

Mold are microscopic organisms. In order for the to reproduce, they must produce spores. Airborne mold spores are everywhere both indoors and outdoors. Spores act like seeds, which can spread easily through the air and can form new mold. If the conditions are right, mold will grow and multiply inside your home. Mold can grow in your home if there is sufficient moisture.
