With the arrival of winter and damp frosty mornings, now is the time to take that extra care to ventilate your property to help combat any mould growth.

As a minimum, ensure your bathroom, laundry and kitchen windows are opened during the day and open blinds to let sun light into the property whenever possible.

Wipe the dew from  your window frames and sills that has formed overnight and don’t keep your furniture pressed hard up against walls.

Mould is attracted to dark, damp and unventilated areas – so if you follow these simple tips, it should greatly reduce the chance of mould forming.
