1st May 2025

As temperatures rise this season, it's the perfect opportunity to refresh your home and improve air circulation. To help keep your living space healthy and dry, we’ve put together six simple ventilation tips for the warmer months.

Six Simple Ventilation Tips to Protect Your Home

  • Use extractor fans when cooking and bathing 

Keep kitchen and bathroom extractor fans running while cooking or showering. This helps remove excess moisture from the air, preventing condensation build up. Keep doors closed in humid areas to limit the spread of moisture.

  • Monitor humidity levels with a hygrometer 

Tracking your home’s humidity levels with a hygrometer allows you to manage indoor moisture effectively. Ideally, aim for 40–60% humidity during warmer months to maintain a comfortable and mould-free environment.

  • Improve air circulation in your home 

Ensure good airflow by leaving a small gap between furniture and walls. This prevents stagnant air pockets and helps reduce the risk of mould growth.

  • Care for houseplants properly 

Overwatering plants can increase humidity in your home. Keep them in well-ventilated areas and water them appropriately to prevent excess moisture build up.

  • Save on heating costs by keeping your home dry 

Humid air is harder to heat, costing you more in energy bills. Reduce excess moisture by using extractor fans, trickle vents, and opening windows regularly.

  • Dry clothes outside whenever possible 

Take advantage of the warmer weather by drying clothes outdoors. This helps prevent indoor moisture build up, keeping your home dry and reducing the chances of mould forming.
