600 Ninth Ave Apts <br />COAST <br />TIPS FOR PREVENTING MOLD <br />It is our goal to maintain the highest quality of living environment for our Residents. To help achieve this goal, it is important to <br />work together to minimize the potential for conditions that could lead to the growth of naturally occurring mold. <br />Tips for Residents: <br />Resident(s) can help minimize mold growth in their apartment homes by taking the following actions: <br />1. Open windows. Proper ventilation is essential. If it is not possible to open windows, run the fan on the apartment <br />air -handling unit to circulate fresh air throughout your apartment. <br />2. In damp or rainy weather conditions, keep windows and doors closed. <br />3. If possible, maintain a temperature of between 50-80 degrees Fahrenheit within your apartment at all times. <br />4. Clean and dust your apartment on a regular basis as required by your lease. Regular vacuuming, mopping, and use of <br />environmentally safe household cleaners is important to remove household dirt and debris that contribute to mold growth. <br />5. Periodically clean and dry the walls and floors around the sink, bathtub, shower, toilets, windows and patio doors using a <br />common household disinfecting cleaner. <br />6. On a regular basis, wipe down and dry areas where moisture sometimes accumulates, like countertops, windows, <br />windowsills, bathroom sinks, toilets, and shower enclosures. <br />7. Use the pre -installed bathroom fan or alternative ventilation when bathing or showering and allow the fan to run until all <br />excess moisture has vented from the bathroom. <br />8. Use the exhaust fans in your kitchen when cooking or while the dishwasher is running. Allow the fan to run until all excess <br />moisture has vented from the kitchen. <br />9. Use care when watering houseplants. If spills occur, dry up excess water immediately. <br />10. To ensure that your clothes dryer vent is operating properly, clean the lint screen after every use. <br />11. When washing clothes in warm or hot water, watch to make sure condensation does not build up within the washer & dryer <br />closet; if the condensation does accumulate, dry the area with a fan or towel. <br />12. Thoroughly clean & dry any spills or pet urine on the carpeting. <br />13. Do not overfill closets or storage areas. Ventilation is important in these spaces. <br />14. Do not allow damp or moist stacks of clothing or other cloth materials to lie in piles for an extended period of time. <br />15. Immediately report to the management office any evidence of a water leak or excessive moisture in your apartment, <br />storage room, garage, or any common area. <br />16. Immediately report to the management office any evidence of mold growth that cannot be removed by simply applying a <br />common household cleaner and wiping the area. Also report any area of mold that reappears despite regular cleaning. <br />17. Immediately report to the management office any failure of malfunction with your heating, ventilation or air-conditioning <br />ducts in your apartment. <br />18. Immediately report to the management office any inoperable windows or doors. <br />19.
