Powdery Mold and Mildew in Your Home?

Powdery mold and mildew typically affects plants, such as grapes, barley, wheat, and onions. If you are noticing it in your home... look out.

When household mold takes on a powdery form, it is usually a sign that the mold is dormant. In other words, the mold has lost its moisture supply and is in a "dead" state.

There are two problems you have to be concerned with. First, there originally was a moisture source that caused the mold to grow - where did it come from? Second... what happens when the moisture returns?

Mold needs two things to survive - a moisture source, and a material to digest/grow on. When you have powedery mold, the moisture source has subsided.

In this powdery condition, it is typically considered a "safe" time to remove the mold. Using houshold cleaners or bleach, you can scrub the mold off of walls or drywall.

More importantly, you MUST ensure that the moisture source has been eliminated. Typical sources include leaking pipes, condensation, and high humidity levels..
