If while you're cleaning the house you find a suspicious dark spot, you can check to see if it's mould by dabbing the spot with a small amount of chlorine bleach. If the colour changes or disappears, the stain is likely mould, says Health Canada.

If you do find mould:

• Throw it out if the spot is on a blanket or rug.
• If the spot is small, clean it by using one part bleach to four parts water and a small amount of a non-ammonia dishwashing detergent. Never mix chlorine bleach and ammonia.
• Identify and remove the source of water. Leaking water can also lead to serious structural damage. – (HealthDayNews)
