Mold Prevention at Home
Setup once
Silicone mats + water alarm under every sink
Drip tray + water alarm under the washer
Never hang towels against drywall or a door
Make a cute little photo frame with preferences to place in your guest bathroom
Do regularly
Run the exhaust fan during and after every shower for at least one hour
Wipe down wet surfaces in the shower/bath after use
Wipe down wet sinks after use
Dry wet grout immediately
Change HVAC air filter monthly
Dust weekly (with a mold-safe/probiotic cleaner)
Keep a dehumidifier running in bathrooms
Use top-loading washers only, leave open to air out between loads
Open curtains/blinds often for airflow and light
Dust window sills/tracks regularly
One more thing, not a checklist item
Talk to a mold-literate doctor about health protocols, both while you're in a moldy environment and after you leave one. Taking a binder without knowing if you have CIRS can do more harm than good.
Some sleep struggles aren't a phase, a regression, or a habit that needs breaking. They're a signal that something in the environment isn't right. This guide was created for the parents who have tried everything and still have a baby or toddler waking constantly, seeming uncomfortable, or just not themselves, and who suspect there might be more going on than a typical sleep issue.
Inside, you'll learn how to actually read your home for hidden mold, connect the dots on symptoms that seem unrelated but often aren't, and get a clear, doable next step - whether that's grabbing an air purifier tonight or knowing exactly which test and which type of provider to call next.
