Mold and Mildew Prevention

Residents should take measures to help prevent mold and mildew from accumulating in their assigned space. These include:

• Set the thermostat to 72F degrees in the cooler months or 76F in the warmer months with the fan set on auto.
• Maintain the assigned space in a clean condition by mopping, vacuuming, or wiping hard surfaces with a household cleaner
• Remove visible moisture or condensation on floors, walls, windows, ceilings, and other surfaces promptly. 
• Run the bathroom fan during and after showers to remove moisture from the air. 
• Ensure all air vents in the room are not blocked
• Immediately report to the University any evidence of water leaks or mildew-like growth
