These three steps will help keep mold spore counts down in your home.

• Remove your shoes when entering your home.
  • Your shoes track in spores that get lodged in the carpet.
  • Clean door mats regularly to keep mold from collecting.
• Vacuum your home at least 3 times a week.
  • Mold spores will get in your home through normal traffic.
  • Pets will also bring in mold spores from the outdoors.
• Change air filters every 3 months.
  • The air filters for your HVAC system collect dust and spores that will eventually clog the pores.
  • Buy more expensive filters that can trap mold spores.

These three steps will keep your home from collecting mold spores. Your home will never be fully rid of spores but you can keep them from collecting too much.
