Under the right time, temperature, and moisture conditions, microbial growth can spread rapidly. Along with adhering to a variety of different materials and surfaces, did you know that microbial growth is attracted to oils from human skin? Because of this, heavier growth will tend to concentrate in areas with high levels of skin oil, such as leather furniture that is regularly sat on. Above is a leather couch, pre-mitigation, from a home that SERVPRO of Bay County recently provided mold remediation services for as an example.
