Having a warm and well-circulated home can help to stop mould and damp in it’s tracks.
And a gadget we all have in our homes will help spot any problem areas and beat the condensation before it builds up.
Condensation conscious Brits can make use of their old Covid thermometers to fight damp and mould in their homes this winter.
Millions of worried people purchased the temperature-measuring gadgets during the global health pandemic as the nation endured a series of strict lockdowns.
Many of them are now gathering dust in drawers, but one expert has revealed how they could become a secret weapon in the war against household moisture.
Condensation is the biggest driver of mould growth in our homes.
The NHS says the problem with mould is that it produces allergens, irritants and, sometimes, toxic substances.
When these are inhaled or they get into the skin, it causes nasty symptoms.
At first, these toxins may not cause any harm at low levels. But if they are consistently in the air, it starts to cause side effects.
Ryan Harrison of energyadvicehelpline.org urges those with wetness on their windows and walls to dig out their thermometers and start fighting back against poor living conditions.
He said: “Millions of people in the UK are struggling with this situation during the colder months, leaving their windows full of condensation and encouraging mould to form – especially behind furniture and in the corners of rooms.
“The best way to tackle this is to understand the process that’s at work and find a way to stop it – and that’s where your old thermometer comes in.
“The higher the moisture content in your home, the harder it is to heat your property.
“Condensation is created where this moist air comes into contact with a cold surface such as a window or wall.
“The first thing to do is to cut down on the moisture you produce. The main sources within the home are showers, baths, cooking and laundry.
“It’s also worth remembering that people produce a huge amount of moisture – around a pint-and-a-half a day – which is going straight into the atmosphere within your four walls.
“Taking steps such as always putting lids on pans when cooking, not drying clothes on radiators and opening the window when having a shower are all worthwhile.
“But if you can also identify the cold spots in your home, it will help you address them and make it harder for condensation to form.”
