UNDERSTANDING THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
MOLD AND MILDEW GROWTH
Mildew Looks Like Powder,
While Mold Looks Fuzzy
Mildew Will Grow on the Surface, While
Mold Burrows
Mildew Will Cause Some Health
Problems, but Mold Is Worse
Mildew Can Be Removed with
Household Products, but Mold Is
More Challenging
Both types have different looks, which is handy when people
want to figure out which one they’re dealing with. Mildew
usually has a gray or white and sometimes powdery look to
it. Also, it is always flat. However, mold will often be raised,
whether red, green, black, or blue.
People can find mold and mildew on paper, wood, or leather. Both
organisms can be found in a moist environment in the home.
Mildew can usually be found on windowsills and shower stalls
because of the humidity levels that tend to reach those areas. Also,
since it is generally found on the surface, it is easy to spot and clean.
There are health risks involved, whether it is mildew or mold,
but there are usually more severe health risks where mold is a
concern, especially black mold. People can have mild
problems like a sore throat, headaches, and minor respiratory
problems when there is mildew.
Mildew can easily be removed with household cleaning supplies,
making it a quick problem to solve. However, if there is mold, the
person will have a more challenging time getting rid of it. This is
because it will need to be determined where the mold is coming
from, how far it has spread, and what kind of mold it is.
