PREVENTING MOLD BEGINS WITH YOU. In order to minimize the potential for mold growth in your apartment, you must do the following: • Keep your apartment clean – particularly the kitchen, the bathroom(s), carpets and floors. Regularly vacuuming, mopping, and using a household cleaner to clean hard surfaces is important to remove the household dirt and debris that harbor mold or food for mold. • Immediately throw away moldy food. • Remove visible moisture accumulating on windows, walls, ceilings, floors, and other surfaces as soon as reasonably possible. Look for leaks in washing machine hoses and discharge lines, especially if the leak is large enough for water to infiltrate nearby walls. When showering, be sure to keep the shower curtain inside the tub and fully close the shower doors. It is important to prevent excess moisture buildup in your apartment. Failure to pay prompt attention to leaks and moisture that might accumulate on apartment surfaces or that might get inside walls or ceilings can encourage mold growth. Prolonged moisture can result from a wide variety of sources, such as: • Rain water leaking from roofs, windows, doors and outside walls, as well as flood waters rising above floor level; • Overflows from showers, bathtubs, toilets, lavatories, sinks, washing machines, refrigerators, A/C drip pans or clogged A/C condensation lines; and • Leaks from plumbing lines or fixtures, washing machine hose leaks, leaks into walls from bad or missing grouting / caulking around showers, tubs or sinks. If Small Areas Of Mold Have Already Occurred On Non-Porous Surfaces (such as ceramic tile, Formica, vinyl flooring, metal, wood or plastic) The Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends that you first clean the areas with soap (or detergent) and water, let the surface dry, and then within 24 hours apply a pre-mixed, spray-on type household biocide, such as Lysol Disinfectant, Pine–Sol Disinfectant, Tilex Mildew Remover, or Clorox Cleanup. Please note only a few of the common household cleaners will actually kill mold. Tilex and Clorox contain bleach, which can discolor or stain. Be sure to follow the instructions on the container. Do not clean or apply household biocides to (1) visible mold on porous surfaces, such as sheet rock walls or ceilings, or (2) large areas of visible mold on non-porous surfaces. Instead, notify us in writing, and we will take appropriate action. Resident shall provide appropriate climate control within the apartment, keep the apartment clean, and t...
