HELP REDUCE MOULD AND CONDENSATION IN YOUR HOME – WATCH THIS HELPFUL MUIR VIDEO
MUIR will work with you to tackle condensation and mould in your home, but there some great, easy ways you can do it too.
Condensation usually occurs more in colder months – leading to mould appearing in black marks on walls and ceilings.
Watch the quick, helpful video and follow the tips to reduce mould and condensation in your home.
- Opening a window when cooking, or taking a bath or shower, will reduce condensation in your kitchen and bathroom.
- Closing kitchen and bathroom doors will stop condensation escaping to other rooms.
- Keep lids on pans when cooking to stop steam escaping.
- If you have an extractor fan installed – use it to help prevent condensation in kitchens and bathrooms.
- Don’t dry wet clothes on top of radiators – use a clothes maiden or a washing line outside if the weather’s good.
- If condensation appears inside your windows on cold mornings, wipe them with a cloth to stop mould forming on frames or window sills.
- Allow air to circulate behind large pieces of furniture by creating a gap between them and the wall.
- To remove mould, wipe walls and window frames with a mould removable spray or wash.
