Did you know that mold is toxic and can cause serious lung damage? If you spot some in your home, then don’t neglect it. Deal with it straight away. Luckily, mold can be prevented and removed using some common household objects. Here are five items in your home you may already have that prevent mold.

## Items

### 1. [Mold Detectors](https://listium.com/@JDsPlumbing/68886/5-household-items-that-prevent-mold/0/mold-detectors)

Item ID: `0`

- Notes: Many people aren’t even aware of how much mold is in their homes. It can be hidden behind objects or at the back of dark cupboards. However, it will still be releasing toxins, which can damage your lungs. Buy a cheap mold detector to find and remove any traces of mold that may be hiding around the home.

### 2. [Wide-Opening Windows](https://listium.com/@JDsPlumbing/68886/5-household-items-that-prevent-mold/1/wide-opening-windows)

Item ID: `1`

- Notes: The more you can air out and ventilate your home, the less of a mold problem you’ll have. That’s because it dries out your indoor air, meaning that mold doesn’t have the water it needs to grow. Install some windows that open as widely as possible to get as much air into your home as you can.

### 3. [Natural Cleaning Products](https://listium.com/@JDsPlumbing/68886/5-household-items-that-prevent-mold/2/natural-cleaning-products)

Item ID: `2`

- Notes: Mold generally grows in a dirty environment. Therefore, you need to clean regularly, even if you don’t think your home is particularly dirty. However, try not to use chemical cleaners. These will release toxins into your home, which could be just as harmful as the mold itself. Look for natural cleaning alternatives or make your own to clean mold away safely.

### 4. [Air Vents](https://listium.com/@JDsPlumbing/68886/5-household-items-that-prevent-mold/3/air-vents)

Item ID: `3`

- Notes: How many air vents does your home have? Some houses are surprisingly lacking in this area, which is one of the main causes of mold. Spend some time unclogging or even replacing any vents in your home. Make sure the fan is working properly so that it can air out your property and limit the possibility of mold growth.
