2. Tackling mould and damp
If you do find mould, it can usually be removed with household cleaning products designed to get rid of fungus. Mould is caused by excess damp, so try and use an extractor fan or leave the window open to get good air circulation and help the room dry out.
Airing rooms helps to prevent damp problems. But if you’re cleaning and airing regularly and you find there’s an area that is always damp, or it keeps coming back, it could be that you have a leak. Don’t worry. It’s better to spot this early. Check your home insurance policy, as it may cover repairs.
