Where does mold come from? Do you risk “taking it with you” when moving from a moldy apartment to a not moldy one?
In: Biology
From personal experience: Get rid of carpet in your bedroom. Carpet, if it gets wet frequently from spills, wet shoes, etc, is a great place for mold to grow, and yes you can track the spores on your shoe soles from one place to another. If you find mold, WEAR A RESPIRATOR when you clean it. I didn’t and scraped it off like an idiot and wound up in the ER, it felt like I had been dosed with a drug (racing heart, confused thinking). I keep a spray bottle of vinegar in every room now and once a month I spray down window sills (mold loves those too), under sinks, and everywhere in the bathroom. Vinegar is a miracle cleaner, totally non-toxic to you, but it dissolves mold instantly and helps prevent the spores from dispersing as you clean it.
