MOST OF THE MOLD IS PRESENT IN THE OUTDOOR AIR BUT MOLD CAN GROW WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN WATER LEAKS / FLOODS AND AIR CONDITIONING LEAKS / PROBLEMS. CAT AND DOG DANDER IS SO LIGHT THAT IT JUST FLOATS IN THE INDOOR AIR AND STICKS TO CARPET, FURNITURE AND WALLS AND STICKS TO THE INSIDE OF THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM. IT CAN TAKE 6 - 8 MONTHS FOR PET DANDER TO CLEAR FROM A HOUSE AFTER THE PET LEAVES THE HOME. PET DANDER STICKS TO CLOTHING AND OCCASIONALLY WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO PLACES THAT DON'T HAVE A PET PRESENT.
