Empty the dehumidifier's water collection pan frequently. Mold can grow in the standing collection water. If outdoor air is dry, leave windows open to promote drying. It can take several weeks for wood and building materials to dry completely. Sun drying is effective for portable items, but do it carefully.
Sunlight kills mold, but it also can fade textiles and other natural surfaces.
Completely dry all items and areas before rebuilding, re-packing or storing. It is nearly impossible to clean and dry carpet padding, upholstered furniture and soaked mattresses quickly enough to prevent mold growth. Disinfectants kill mold growing on hard surfaces such as walls and hard floors. Disinfectants must be registered with the Environmental Protection Agency with an EPA registration number on the product label. One of the most effective and least expensive disinfectants for hard surfaces is chlorine bleach.
