Prevent mould in your home

A key are of mould growth is the bathroom, not surprisingly because it is an area of the house that attracts condensation and water retention.  However, if conditions in the bathroom are not dealt with effectively, be it through opening windows for ventilation or using dehumidifiers to dry out the room, mould growth will be prevalent and could even turn into black, toxic mould. 

Mould growth in your home, if left untreated, it will affect your health and the structure of your home.  Mould can affect the structural support beams causing them to eventually weaken.  If your property or apartment is below the tree line, then you are better off keeping the windows shut and using air conditioning or dehumidifiers.  It is also important not to spread mould so try having different footwear for different areas, i.e. slippers for the house, and different pairs of shoes for the outside and balconies or patios; avoid going barefoot.  Keep curtains open as plenty of sunlight helps to dry out inside as well.  If you are above the tree line, open windows as much as possible and again, allow lots of sunlight to flow into your home. 

Another effective way of keeping the air free of irritants, pollutants and mould spores is through the use of air filtration equipment.  An air filter with an absorbent element removes solid particles from the air space including dust, mould and bacteria.  It is important, though, that the filter inside the air filtration unit is replaced regularly to prevent a build-up of dirt and dust which would make them ineffective.
