resistant to moisture, which may be harder to
remove. Instead, take out these items and have
them dried thoroughly. If you are unsure how to
handle this task, you can contact mold removal
companies in your area as they will have all the
necessary equipment and personnel to help you

Use the towel to cover up the moist area so as to
prevent mildew from forming and spreading on the
floor.

them, as that will remove any dust, hair, and
other particles that may allow mold to form. If
