Do’s

• Clean and vacuum your home or business regularly
• Leave doors and windows open for ventilation when you bath, shower, or do other activities that can increase moisture.
• Use a dehumidifier to keep indoor relative humidity below 50 percent.
• Use an indoor air purifier with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration or install an appropriate high-efficiency filter in your furnace or ventilation system.
• Keep your rain gutters clean and make sure water drainage is not blocked.

Don’ts
