My mobile home is mildewing EVERYWHERE! Please help. I first noticed it in our closets on leather shoes. Since we put down all new vinyl flooring last year it is even worse. I find it on walls, furniture even the floor under an unused bedroom. The bottom of our home has lattice around it and the original insulation. What can we do?

Tom: … and a lot of people do, it’s soot, it’s not mold, and it gets all over in shoes in closets, it gets really bad. If that’s the case, fine. If it is not that, it is your air conditioning system. It is running too high of a humidity, and one of the first places you’ll notice it is on shoes in a closet.
Charlie: Mold?
Tom: Absolutely.
