Mildew Mold

Mildew is mold that grows on fabric or food but the term mildew itself is often used to refer to all kinds of mold growth.

It is commonly seen on plants and vegetation.

It can also appear as bathroom, basement and any other household mold, being able to thrive on all kinds of materials, such as tiles and concrete, leather and paper, floors, walls and ceilings.
