Keep Mould & Condensation Under Control
Condensation is one of the most common causes of mould in the home, but a few simple habits can make a big difference.
Condensation happens when warm, moist air meets cold surfaces like windows, walls or mirrors, causing water droplets to form.
Here are some easy ways to reduce moisture in your home:
• Open windows regularly or use trickle vents to improve ventilation.
• Use extractor fans when cooking or showering.
• Keep lids on pans while cooking.
• Wipe away condensation from windows and sills.
• Try to dry clothes outside or use a tumble dryer where possible.
• Keep your home heated at a steady temperature during colder months.
Taking these simple steps can help prevent mould, protect your home, and create a healthier living environment.
If you notice persistent damp or mould, let your landlord or letting agent know as soon as possible so it can be investigated.
