        "text": "Many quality exterior primers contain mildewcides, which are chemical additives designed to inhibit the growth of mildew, mold, and other fungi. When applied as a base coat, this protective barrier helps to prevent these organisms from establishing themselves on the siding surface and feeding on the paint film. This is especially beneficial in humid climates or areas prone to moisture, like certain parts of the Bay Area. While primer helps, ensuring proper surface preparation and good ventilation are also key to preventing mildew and mold.",
