Humidity: Reducing  the humidity in your home can have a noticeable impact, and the best way to do this is to check how you dry your clothes in the winter. Hanging laundry in well-ventilated areas rather than in warm rooms can help prevent mould. Also make sure the tumble dryer is well-ventilated to the outside. Other ways to reduce humidity in your home can include moving houseplants to less humid areas or removing them altogether and improving the air extraction in your bathroom and kitchen to make them more efficient.

Insulation:  It is recommended that you fit your home with double glazed windows, wall insulation and crack sealing as this can also have a positive effect on condensation problems by reducing heat loss. Well installed, energy efficient windows help to maintain a high temperature inside, which can have a significant impact on condensation and mould growth.
