When you keep your house cold and you rarely open the windows, you are creating an environment that is conducive to mold growth. Here are 10 pieces of advice on how to prevent it:
Keep your house dry.
Air your house every day for a minimum of 10 minutes, especially the kitchen and the bathroom after use.
Use the hood vent when cooking. Ensure the filter is clean and functioning properly.
Clothes should be dried outside on a rack if possible, not inside.
All rooms in the house should have a similar temperature – no lower than 18 degrees.
Clean the house regularly. Mold likes dust.
Leave a minimum of 10 centimeters between furniture and outer walls.
Dry the bathroom after taking a shower.
Check if the ventilations from windows and doors are open. Keep them open.
When it appears, don’t wait for it to grow.
