keeping mould away

What can you do to keep mould and mildew at bay?

• Keep all areas dry: damp surfaces are common in the bathroom and kitchen. Leaving them dry will help keep mould and mildew at bay. Also, remember to let your washing machine air out after each use.
•  Use a dehumidifier to keep your home at an ideal humidity level (between 40 and 50 percent) to prevent mould and mildew growth.
•  Replace your air filters regularly. HVAC filters, like HEPA filters, are susceptible to mould and mildew growth. You can avoid this by changing them frequently.
• Check for mould and mildew regularly: The sooner you detect it, the quicker it is to treat.
• Allowing the indoor air to circulate: stagnant air retains humidity, creating the ideal setting for mould and mildew to thrive. Keep windows open and use fans to keep the air moving in your home.
• Use an air purifier: Indoor air purifiers can eliminate mould spores from the air in your house, preventing clustering and growth. Air purifiers are perfect for mould since they destroy it, eliminating the possibility of it growing on the filter surface and being released back into the air.
