Condensation and mould can occur on any surface, look unpleasant, and can increase the risk of illness. Mould is usually black but can be other colours including greens, yellows, pinks, grey, or white.
Tips to prevent mould in your home:
Open windows to ventilate rooms during the day especially when showering, cooking and washing to help remove moisture from the air.
Treating mould in the home: If mould appears, treat it as soon as possible. You can spray it with white vinegar, leave for an hour then wipe clean with water and dry.
Use your kitchen fan when cooking
Open your curtains or blinds everyday - sunlight helps stop mould. Wipe water droplets off walls, windows and windowsills when you see it. Clean your exhaust fans regularly (if you struggle to reach ask a neighbour or family member to help). Always use the exhaust fan when you shower or take a bath and leave it on until the steam is gone. Keep your home at a constant temperature, rather than heating in bursts when it is cold or wet outside.
