Mold vs. Mildew

The first step in identifying a mold problem is to separate it from its cousin, mildew. Although mold and mildew can look the same to an untrained eye, there are differences.

Mildew

Mildew starts in a shady, moist area like in the bathroom shower or behind a refrigerator or dishwasher. It is a surface fungus, so it grows on top of surfaces. Mildew initially has a gray or white color but can later change to yellow, brown, or black. What is important is that mildew is not toxic or poisonous. Mildew can be easily be removed by cleaning the infected surface area.

Mold

Like mildew, mold also grows in damp areas. However, it is often the result of a larger infestation that spreads and grows inside and behind the surface material, like walls and windows. Mold usually appears “fuzzy,” although it can sometimes have a slimy texture. Mold comes in many varieties and colors, including black, brown, green, blue, yellow, white, and gray. Most importantly, mold is responsible for many health problems. AND mold cannot easily remove it like mildew. Because mold penetrates the surface structure, it will simply grow back if it is not completely removed. Because of this, mold should always be removed by a trained professional.
