Damp, mould and condensation: keeping your home cosy and dry
Damp and mould can affect any home, but did you know there’s things you can do to help prevent it?
Published: 27/09/2024
During the colder months, your home is more at risk of being affected by damp, mould and condensation.
Everyday things like cooking, showering, or drying clothes indoors can create moisture, and if it can't escape, it turns into condensation. This can lead to mould forming on walls, tiles, or windowsills. To help prevent this, here are our top tips:
Open the windows slightly, even for 10 minutes a day, and make sure the vents are open and not blocked.
When you're cooking, cover pots and pans, put your extractor fan on, and open the window a little to reduce steam.
In the mornings, wipe your windows down, condensation often collects around the edges.
Dehumidifiers can help keep small spaces dry.
Leave a small gap between the furniture and the wall to let air flow. Avoid overfilling wardrobes and cupboards.
