Most homes today have occasional problems with mildew. Wherever it is hard to keep an area dry or keep air circulating, you may see this mold start to grow. Mildew is a type of mold that can either be black or white, and it usually spreads in thin layers.

It is important to continually get rid of your mildew so that it can eat away at the surface it is on. The toxins in mildew can also cause allergies or respiratory problems.
