Lesson Overview

7.9 – Preventing Mold, Pests, and Odors at Home: A clean home protects against invisible threats like mold, insects, and lingering smells. Regular ventilation, wiping moisture, and sealing food properly keep your space fresh and safe. Mold thrives where dampness hides, so keeping air moving is vital for health. Taking out trash promptly and storing dry goods in sealed containers prevents pests. Cleaning drains, vacuuming corners, and washing fabrics regularly block bacteria growth. Scents tell stories about hygiene; a neutral or fresh scent signals balance. Maintenance today prevents costly repairs tomorrow, saving time and money. A healthy home strengthens your immune system, mood, and confidence by quietly guarding your wellbeing. Prevention isn’t dramatic—it’s disciplined care that builds invisible protection.
