Step 7 · Prevent Future Mold Growth

Identify and fix the source of moisture that allowed the mold to grow (e.g., leaky pipes, condensation, poor ventilation). Maintain low indoor humidity levels (ideally below 50%) by using exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens, ensuring proper ventilation, and fixing any water leaks promptly. Consider using a dehumidifier in damp areas.
