Mold and mildew are tiny plants that grow where its warm and damp like in the shower. They release invisible "spores" into the air. The floating spores trigger allergy and asthma episodes. And wherever they land, the spores start growing new mold and mildew.
Mold/mildew also grow on "wet" appliances like air conditioners, dehumidifiers (appliances that remove moisture from the air) and humidifiers (appliances that add moisture to the air). Follow manufacturers instructions to change filters and clean appliances regularly.
