Having mould in your home is such a buzzkill. Not only does it not look appealing, it can have serious impacts on your health. So we compiled a list of tips to get your home mould-free.

Fix Your Leaks:

Cleaning & Maintenance: 

Regularly cleaning & maintaining your home is key to preventing mould from building up. For surfaces with mould and mildew, chlorine bleach is your best friend. 

Ventilation: 

Exhaust fans in your bathroom and kitchen will help to remove excess moisture. Always make sure the ventilation for your tumble dryer is outside your home. 

Avoid carpet in damp areas:

Carpets are a perfect breeding group for mould as they hold moisture. Tiles or wood are the best flooring for your bathrooms or kitchens. 

Keep an eye out:

Regularly monitoring potential mould problem areas can help prevent future problems. Make sure you address any problems as soon as you see them.

Insulation:

Pipes and appliances that are in damn areas need insulation to prevent them from condensing & creating mould.
