The smell of chlorine does not signify the presence of mold. If you smell cleaning products I would ask other family members (if any are there) if they were using them.

It sounds like you are doing the right things to prevent mold from developing. If you are keeping the relative humidity below 60% and preferrably below 40% you significantly decrease the chance for mold to grow. Mold needs and couple things to grow... spores (which are everywhere), water (either in the air or standing), food (cellulose products like paper, wood and cardboard), stale air, temperature, and time. If you take away any one of these items then you will not have mold growth. If you can figure out how to stop time please let me know!

Good luck, Jim
