Reducing indoor humidity is vital. Daily habits can help combat mold:
Ventilation is Key: Even if your home doesn’t have a moisture problem, airing out your house for 45 minutes daily can prevent mold growth. If natural ventilation isn’t enough, consider mechanical ventilation.

Seal Cracks and Insulate: Addressing cracks and insulating your home can prevent mold, especially in winter.
