Create A Better Breathing Environment (Part 3)

This week we will cover the final points 21-36 of this list:
21.- Use household cleaners ( we prefer bio-degradable enzyme cleaners) on any hard surface.
22.- Remove any moldy or rotting food.
23.-Remove garbage regularly.
24.-Wipe down any and all visible signs of moisture.
25.-Regularly scan the ceiling for evidence of roof leaks.
26.-Periodically check the air conditioning vents to be sure they are clean.
27.-Change air conditioning filter regularly (we recommend minimum every 60 days, 30 days preferred)
28.-Perform scheduled maintenance on your air conditioning system, including but not limited to, cleaning the evaporator coil.
29.-Wipe down windows and sills if moisture is present.
30.-Regularly inspect for leaks under the sinks and around the base of water closets, around the base of washing machines, and base of water heater.
31.-Check all washer hoses and outside garden hose connections.
32.-Regularly empty dehumidifier.
33.-Clean behind the refrigerator and around the furnace or air handler.
34.-Empty the refrigerator condensation pan where possible.
35.-If possible, pour a small amount of biocide in the drip pan of the air conditioning air handler to decrease the potential for mold growth.
36.-Answer this question regularly and check for signs of  mold: " If I were mold and liked moisture, where would I feel most comfortable to set up a home and build a family?"
Sounds overwhelming doesn't it?
Next time we will go over the basis of all of this.
