Before You Pull Out Those Wreaths . . .

Mold spores on a picture frame.

Ah, yes, it’s that same time of year where we venture up into the spooky, musty attic to gather our ornaments of cheer! But wait a minute . . . what is that smell? You open up your first storage box of holiday decorations, and a wave of mildew smell permeates the air around you. There are many factors that lead to mold growth on contents, the primary one being stagnant moisture in the wreaths that hang outside on your front door.  While you may be mentally, socially, and physically exhausted after the family leaves and all the holiday dinner dishes are washed, it’s important not to be hasty when putting your decorations back in their storage containers, as these containers are typically airtight, leaving no room for circulation. Did you do all that and still ended up with your favorite mistletoe picture frame having those nasty moldy spots? Bring your contents to SERVPRO®, where we can work our magic in helping restore them to their former glory!
