Mould Prevention Tips & Tricks
Mould is a type of fungus that lives in warm, moist conditions. It grows in damp, dark and poorly ventilated areas in homes and businesses, like bathrooms and wardrobes. Storage and basement areas are also common places for mould due to poor ventilation.
While no two mould situations are the same and specific advice is needed from a mould removal specialist for each mould issue, there are some things you can do to avoid some common mould growth situations. The most important is to ensure circulation of fresh air and maintenance of dry cool environments. Keeping a fresh breeze in your property is essential to avoid mould, if this is not possible than use a decent quality ceiling fan to encourage air movement. A mechanical ventilation device, such as a bathroom exhaust fan, when ducted to the exterior of your house will suck out stale and humid air and is especially important in mould prevention.
If your home is warm and humid, the best thing you can do is open your doors and windows. Mould does not like sunlight either, so be sure to open your blinds too. Here is a list of handy tips to avoid mould in your home:
- Open windows and doors to let fresh air in, if this is not possible, use fans to prevent humid air from settling around your home or business.
- Open blinds and curtains during the day to let sunlight in
- Turn on the exhaust fan or open a window in the bathroom, laundry, and kitchen to help with air circulation and to rid these environments from steam where hot water is used.
- Wipe down tiles to remove moisture and clean off soap scum that mould feeds on.
- Wipe away any moisture on your windows and walls to keep the inside of your home dry.
- Ensure your window seals are not damaged and do not allow for the build-up of moisture.
- Dry your clothes and shoes properly before you put them away.
- Air out wardrobes and cupboards regularly.
- Use moisture absorbers or dehumidifiers in basements, wardrobes, and closed-off rooms.
- Keep your gutters clean to ensure that water flows away from your roof.
- Dry up spills and leaks at once, as constant drips and leaks cause moisture build which mould loves.
The best way to stop mould from growing is to let in fresh air and light, clean regularly and control moisture in your home
