* Make sure your home is very well ventilated. This is very important. If the weather allows you to, open up windows as much as possible. Even if you have your air running, you should still atleast have your windows cracked. Also make sure your clothes dryer is well vented to outside.
* If there is a flood, make sure your home is well cleaned and dried. Do not wait any longer than twenty four hours to clean and dry. Your home will start forming mold in no time.
* Check plumbing very often. If you have a leaky pipe and it gets moisture anywhere, mold will start forming quickly.
