Recognizing the Signs of Mold Infestation and Effective Ways to Combat It

A clean home is about more than just appearanceโ€”itโ€™s about safeguarding your health and well-being. Mold, bacteria, and unpleasant odors can silently invade your living space, compromising air quality and potentially harming your health.


Why Mold Thrives in Singaporeโ€™s Climate

Singaporeโ€™s hot and humid climate creates the perfect breeding ground for mold. With high humidity levels (often above 70%), warm temperatures (typically 25-32ยฐC), and frequent rainfall, mold spores find ideal conditions to grow and spread.

The Hidden Dangers of Mold

โš‰ Respiratory problems: Mold spores can trigger asthma attacks, allergies, and other breathing difficulties.
โš‰ Skin irritation: Prolonged exposure to mold can cause rashes and itching.
โš‰ Weakened immune system: Mold exposure can make you more susceptible to infections and illnesses.
โš‰ Long-term health risks: In severe cases, toxic mold can lead to chronic conditions like sinus infections and even neurological problems.
