Facts about Mold

  1. What exactly is mold? Molds are living microorganisms and forms of fungi like yeasts and mushrooms. Now that we have a basic definition of mold, lets start debunking some common mold myths!
  2. Most of the information you find in the media and internet on ???Black Mold??? is completely bogus and horribly misleading. The fact is that the color of the mold as it appears to the naked eye cannot tell you anything about whether its toxic or not. This brings us to point #3:
  3. With over 100,000 species, mold comes in about any size, shape, and color you can think of, making it virtually impossible to tell what type of mold you have without a microscope.
  4. While there are over 100,000 species of mold, the good news is that you do NOT need to know what kind of mold you have to eliminate mold growth. All mold is treated in the same way. Since mold is a living organism, it requires food and water to survive. But controlling mold by eliminating food sources is very difficult since mold can feed off building materials, and the tiniest of organic matter like dirt, dust and debris. Thus the best way to eliminate mold problems is to eliminate water problems.
  5. Eliminating mold problems is important because the Environmental Protection Agency estimates that we spend 90 percent of our time indoors, and that the air we breathe indoors is more polluted than the outdoor air. So indoor air quality matters a lot to our health.

Tip #1 ~ Add Storage

The goal is to keep your laundry room and workspace as clean as possible with minimal maintenance. Ask yourself, how can you maximize this space?
??? Add a counter on top?
??? Add shelving or a cabinet? {above or below washer/dryer}
??? Add a clothes hanging rod?
??? Can you stack the washer and dryer?

Create a folding station. In The Fun Lane maximized her laundry room layout by completely starting from scratch! She gutted her room and installed new floor to ceiling cabinets and added a table on top of her washer and dryer to create a folding station. Two shelves from Ikea complete the look and add storage at her finger tips.
