Love your home this Valentine's Day

February is not only the month of love but also the perfect time to show your home some affection! Here are some tips to help you keep damp, mould, and condensation at bay, ensuring your living space stays healthy and comfortable.

• Did you know mould can grow due to condensation? Ensure good ventilation, maintain proper heating, and address any structural issues to keep moisture levels in check.
• Did you know you can treat mould with a simple mix of white vinegar and warm water? Remember, don’t use bleach or vacuum it away as it can spread the spores and make it worse.
• Did you know mould can form when moisture hits a cold surface and isn’t wiped away for more than six hours? To avoid this, ensure your property is properly heated and ventilated, especially when the air humidity is 80% or less.
• Did you know humid or moist air costs more to heat? Be sure to open your windows, and use extractor fans, trickle vents, and heating to keep moisture levels low and your home warm efficiently.
• Did you know that four people living in a three-bedroom property create around 112 pints of moisture a week just from breathing, cooking, showering, and boiling the kettle? Be mindful of moisture levels and ventilate your home to keep it healthy and comfortable.
• Did you know taking early action on mould can stop it from spreading? If you can’t get your mould under control, if your extractor fans aren’t working, your windows don’t open, or you have issues with your central heating, contact us immediately. We're here to help you keep your home safe and sound.

By following these tips, you'll be ensuring that your home feels loved and cared for. After all, a happy home is the heart of a happy life. Here's to a warm, dry, and cozy February filled with love and care!
