Mold growth in your Brita water pitcher can be a real nuisance, but there are ways to prevent it. One of the most important steps is to check your air vents. Often, mold and mildew spores start from your heating and cooling systems, where they breed and spread to other areas of the house. Keeping the vents clean will help keep mold away from your drinking water.
In addition to checking the air vents, you should regularly clean and wash the filter for your Brita water pitcher. This will help remove any dirt or debris harboring mold spores. Make sure to use warm soapy water when cleaning the filter, as this will help kill any bacteria or fungi that may be present. After washing the filter, allow it to dry completely before re-installing it in your pitcher. These simple steps can help ensure that you have clean, safe drinking water free from mold growth.
