Is there a moldy smell in your home? It may be from mold growing where you can’t see it. A strange black or green smudge, which you may have mistaken for dirt or soot could be mold. All mold should be promptly attended to, because even a small amount of mold demonstrates that your home is providing a conducive environment for mold to grow.

Locations that are dark, warm and moist provide the ideal conditions for mold to grow. For example, mold could be growing underneath your kitchen sink, or near rusty pipes. Both of these locations provide that dark, warm and moist environment that mold can’t resist. Luckily, there are ways to prevent mold from growing, such as:

v  Removing moisture in the air by running a dehumidifier

v  Open your curtains to allow extra sunlight in your home

v  Fix rusty or leaky pipes

v  Keeping dark/damp locations such as the attic and the basement clean
