Regular housekeeping cleaning helps keep mold levels low. Cleaning small areas of visible mold, like the mold around your shower, is obligatory to maintain sanitary conditions.

Sometimes you don't need to spend a fortune to fix a decorating mistake or problem.  In fact, easy and inexpensive solutions are more common than you may think. Here are six cheap and simple decorating fixes.  1) Paint.  Need to update a room or give it some flair. Paint is the easiest and least expensive fix there is.  With a gallon or two, about $50, you can give a room a brand new look.  2) Throws and pillows. Ok, so the sofa is getting worn and dated, but the budget won't allow you to replace it yet.  What to do?  Casually drape some throw blankets across a corner and add some coordinating pillows.  Don't just put the throw over the back, have go on the corner, draping so it falls across an arm, part of the back, and over a cushion.  We were selling our house and had redecorated the whole thing, but we couldn't afford new couches even though the dog had snagged the fabric with his claws.  Throws and pillows covered up the problem spo...

Often the bathroom is one of the most overlooked rooms in the home when it comes to decorating. We tend to see it as a utilitarian space, even though we spend quite a lot of time here. (More, if you have teenagers!) Take an afternoon to turn your bath into a relaxing and soothing retreat for yourself and your guests, without spending a lot of cash. 1. Paint the whole room, including the ceiling a deep, rich color. Even though this is a small room, a deep color on the walls allows them to fade away, and at once makes the room cozy and seems more spacious. 2. Get rid of the clutter! If you can’t get most of the makeup and shaving cream under the sink, (and who can?) pick up a few baskets from the dollar shop and corral them in. Make sure there is a hamper. If you are short on space, use the kind that hangs on the back of the door. A large drawstring bag would work for this also. (He might actually even use it…ok, it’s a dream.) 3. Dress up that large frameless mirror . Hang swags of fabr...

The bedroom is the place we spend most of our time, yet also tends to be the most neglected when it comes to decorating. Nowadays, money may be a significant factor! Here are some great tips for brightening up your space with no money at all! 1.Rearrange! A new fresh arrangement always makes a room feel new. Don’t be afraid to try new angles for your furniture…place your bed on a diagonal, or even right in the middle of the room! 2. Search your drawers for scarves, tablecloths, or even pillowcases that compliment your color scheme. You can use things you already own to soften a dresser top or the edge of your nightstand, or perhaps lay a pretty shawl over the foot of the bed. If you already have throw pillows on your bed (if you don’t, it’s time to steal them from another room!) you can also wrap these fabrics around the pillows for a new look, and just safety pin it in back. 3. Add a plant to your room. Look around your house to see if one of your existing plants would be happier in y...
