The intense rain fall the Wollondilly has experienced in the first half of this year has seen a significant increase in household mould.
With rainfall expected to continue through Spring we thought we would share these great tips from REINSW on Preventing Mould:
Reduce indoor humidity with good ventilation and regular airing of the property. Keep ventilators and exhaust fans clear of fluff. Ensure air vents are not blocked
Keep the temperature even throughout the property. Try not to let one room get warmer or colder than the next
Allow the sun to shine into the property wherever possible by opening blinds and curtains during the day
Remove any sign of mould growth on walls, ceilings and furniture as soon as it develops. Wipe dry any surface where condensation appears, particularly in bathrooms. Clean, vacuum and dust regularly to keep bacteria to a minimum
Dry clothes outdoors where possible. When drying indoors (either on racks or using a clothes dryer), ventilate the room and ensure there is external air extraction.
