Ensure that you prevent mold growth in your home with the right home maintenance. Use this home checklist to help you prevent mold growth in your home.

Ventilate the Bathroom.

Mold thrives in warm damp places, making your bathroom the perfect place for mold to sprout. Help Prevent mold by allowing air to circulate when running a hot shower. Open a window or turn on a fan to lessen the condensation, and prevent mold.

Clean Often.

The more frequently you clean, the better able you are to stave off mold and mildew. Wipe down spaces that are at a higher risk for mold like sinks, showers, and toilets so that you can keep them as clean and healthy as possible.

Fix Leaky Pipes.

Where there’s water, there’s often mold. If you have any leaky pipes, it’s important to have them fixed so that you can keep your home mold free.

Inspect Your Home.

That way you’re better able to catch mold growth before it gets out of hand.  Check your home appliances, under sinks, around cabinets and baseboards for any signs of water damage. These could be early signs of mold and they’re worth paying attention to. Take note of any peeling, discoloration, or staining so that you can fix any leaks and get rid of any mold.
