moisissure et mildiou Explanation: In common usage, the terms "mildew" and "mold" are for the most part interchangeable. In some cases they are used in the same phrase: "mold and mildew". The terms are used to describe the physical appearance of common fungi seen growing on objects both inside and outside buildings. This includes solid surfaces such as walls, floors, ceilings, as well as fruits and vegetables (fruits and vegetables are usually referred to as "moldy"). Mold growing on a shower curtain or bathtub is generally referred to as "mildew" (note the contextual use of the term). http://www.housekeepingchannel.com/a_340-Whats_the_Differenc... |
