Mold? Or is it just Mildew?

Mildew can grow most anywhere that spores land and find moisture and a comfortable temperature. Make sure the humidity in the home is less than 35% and adjust humidifiers to maintain levels at 35% or lower if needed.

Almost every home gets some type of mold – the trick is to clean it up before it spreads. The most visible type is mildew, which begins as tiny black spots. This is the stuff you see in grout lines in your shower, on damp window casings, etc.
