Molds such as fungus mold and slime mold are most often found in areas that have high humidity levels such as bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms or damp basements (especially after flooding). It is important to try and prevent mold and mildew growth, and if it's too late, try mold remediation and mold removal.
Because mold and mildew release mold spores in the air that can float throughout the house, severe allergic reactions such as watery eyes, runny nose and sneezing, nasal congestion and fatigue, can occur. When mold starts to reproduce inside a home, it can eat away at the structure, cause thousands of dollars in damage, possibly make family members sick from mold exposure. There are several mold cleaning, prevention, and mold removal methods to deal with this persistent problem. We highly recommend using a combination of these products below, to reduce mold to safe levels throughout your home.

Dehumidifiers for the Relief of Mold Allergies
Dehumidifiers will help dry moist areas and lower humidity levels which should be maintained at about 50% relative humidity or lower to prevent mold and mildew growth. By using a dehumidifier you take away mold's ability to replicate. The best overall models for the home for humidity control are the Santa Fe dehumidifiers. However, there are plenty of other models to choose from if you need bigger or smaller dehumidifiers for your mold problem.

Air Purifiers for the relief of Mold Allergies
Once mold exists, it's likely airborne and to get it out of your breathing air you need air purifiers. For small areas the best solution is our Airfree Onix 3000 Air Sterilizers but if you have a big area, a model with HEPA filtration is necessary. HEPA filters remove airborne particles ranking from .03 microns and larger which would include mold. The best air purifier with HEPA filtration for mold is the IQAir HealthPro Plus Air Purifier. There are a lot of different options so please browse our mold air purifiers.

HEPA Vacuums for the Relief of Mold Allergies
Vacuuming with HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Absolute) filter vacuums reduces mold spore concentrations in carpets. A HEPA vacuum properly traps mold spores that that have settled on the floor. There are an extensive amount of effective vacuums varying in style and price, although our favorite is Miele vacuums. See our complete HEPA vacuum cleaners selection for all of your choices.

Steam Cleaners for the Relief of Mold Allergies
While large mold problems are better handled by professional cleaning crews, if your mold cleanup is relatively simple, such as moldy grout, you'll save money by doing it yourself with one of our vapor steam cleaners. Our steam cleaners will destroy the mold while simultaneously cleaning, eliminating allergens and deodorizing. The best possible steam cleaners you can buy are Ladybug 2200S Steam Cleaners with TANCS (TANCS is registered as disinfectant with the EPA and uses zero chemicals). The best value is our exclusive WhiteWing Steamer Vapor Steam Cleaner. To choose from our entire selection visit our vapor steam cleaners page.

If the level of moisture is uncontrollable with dehumidifiers and you sleep in a high moisture environment, you should have a mold and mildew resistant mattress. Wool and latex are both natural mold resistant materials and these mattresses help prevent a mold problem. We recommend the Royal-Latex Mattresses line as the best overall choice for a mold resistant bed.

Mattress Pads Which Help Prevent Mold Allergies
If you need extra padding on your mattress, you should use latex mattress pads. They are especially helpful since they are naturally mold resistant and are surrounded by organic wool that discourages the growth of mold and mildew. For mold resistant mattress pads we recommend Royal-Pedic Quilted Pillow top Organic Mattress Pads.

Comforters Which Do Not Produce Mold Spores or Silk
A nontoxic, chemical-free, hypoallergenic wool comforter inhibits the growth of mold and mildew since wool naturally repels moisture. Again, we recommend controlling your humidity levels with dehumidifiers since by controlling the humidity level alone will eliminate the need for a new bed, mattress, mattress pads etc.
