What is Mold?

Mold is a fungus that can be found in damp or wet areas. It is made up of spores which will reproduce and spread. Mold grows rapidly on damp or decaying matter.

 

What Causes Mold?

Mold will grow in places with a lot of moisture, such as around leaks in roofs, windows, or pipes, or where there has been flooding. Mold can enter your home through open doorways, windows, vents, and heating and air conditioning systems. Mold in the air outside can also attach itself to clothing, shoes, and pets can and be carried indoors.

 

Unfortunately, many building materials provide suitable nutrients that encourage mold to grow. These materials include, ceiling tiles, wood, and wood products, wallpaper, insulation materials, drywall, carpet, fabric, and upholstery can support mold growth.

 

How does it affect you?

People with allergies may be more sensitive to molds. People with immune suppression or underlying lung disease are more susceptible to fungal infections. Individuals with chronic respiratory disease (e.g., chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, asthma) may experience difficulty breathing. Seek medical consultation if you are experiencing any of these symptoms and have been exposed to mold.

More Than Clean: How a Well-Maintained Workplace Protects Your Bottom Line A clean workspace isn’t just about appearances—it’s a smart business decision. From boosting employee productivity to reducing repair costs and improving customer confidence, maintaining a clean commercial space can directly impact your bottom line. Here’s how professional cleaning helps protect your investment and drive long-term value. Boosts Employee Productivity and Morale A cluttered or dirty workplace can distract employees and even contribute to higher rates of absenteeism. Studies have shown that clean, well-organized environments lead to better focus, fewer sick days, and greater overall satisfaction. When staff feel taken care of, they’re more likely to stay engaged—and stay put. Extends the Life of Your Assets Carpets, flooring, furniture, and fixtures all deteriorate faster when they’re not properly maintained. Dirt, dust, and moisture can wear down surfaces and lead to costly replacements sooner than expected. Regular professional cleaning extends the life of these materials, preserving your investment and reducing long-term costs. Enhances Your Business Reputation Customers, clients, and vendors notice the condition of your space—especially in lobbies, restrooms, and shared areas. A clean facility signals professionalism and attention to detail, while a poorly maintained one can raise doubts about the quality of your services. First impressions matter, and cleanliness is one you can control. Reduces Safety and Liability Risks Spills, clutter, and buildup can all contribute to slip-and-fall accidents or other hazards in the workplace. Regular cleaning and maintenance reduce these risks, helping you maintain compliance with safety regulations and avoid potential liability claims. Prevents Bigger Problems Down the Line Ignoring small issues—like mold, leaks, or pest-attracting debris—can turn into major headaches. Professional cleaners are trained to spot and address these early, often before you’re even aware there’s a problem. This proactive approach saves you money on emergency repairs and health-related shutdowns. Clean Today, Save Tomorrow Commercial cleaning is more than a routine—it’s a strategic investment in your company’s performance, image, and future. By prioritizing cleanliness and upkeep, you’re not just maintaining appearances—you’re protecting your bottom line.. At Christenson Cleaning, we help businesses stay ahead with expert cleaning and maintenance services tailored to your needs. We proudly serve the Grand Island, Hastings, Omaha, Lincoln, Kearney, and Council Bluffs areas . Let us show you how a well-maintained workplace can work for you—contact us today for a personalized consultation.

As the winter cold sets in across Nebraska and Iowa, homeowners face a significant risk: frozen pipes. When temperatures plummet, the water in pipes can freeze, leading to expansion and potential bursts that flood homes and cause extensive damage. Here’s a guide on safeguarding your plumbing as winter approaches. Why Frozen Pipes Are a Problem When water freezes, it expands. In confined spaces like pipes, this expansion creates pressure, which can lead to cracks and bursts. Pipes in unheated spaces, such as basements, attics, and garages, are especially vulnerable, as are those along exterior walls. Once a pipe bursts, the resulting flood can cause thousands of dollars in damage—not to mention the hassle of cleanup and repair.
