QUICK TIPS
How to Improve Indoor Air Quality & Control Mould
Mould grows due to moisture, water damage or leakage, and poor ventilation. Therefore, it is always advisable to address the issue early before it worsens and spreads to larger areas, otherwise, it can lead to health risks, higher repair costs, and structural damage. To prevent his, and to stop, mould from growing in offices, houses, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, or other commercial and residential buildings, follow these steps to create a healthy environment for everyone:
- Proper Ventilation: Humidity is a major cause of Mould growth; Therefore, it is essential to maintain proper airflow in the room to reduce humidity and prevent moisture buildup. To achieve this, open windows and doors daily to allow fresh air circulation, use exhaust fans, keep furniture away from walls, and, most importantly, use air purifiers.
- Fix Water Leaks: As soon as you notice water leakage, act immediately. Even small drips from pipes should not be ignored, because they can lead to Mould infestations. After repairing the leakage, ensure the affected areas are thoroughly dried so that moisture does not buildup again.
- Control Indoor Humidity: To minimise mould risk, keep indoor humidity levels below 50%, as high humidity increases the risk of Mould development. For this purpose, use dehumidifiers and air conditioning. Aditionally, avoid drying wet clothes indoors, and place moisture-absorbing materials such as charcoal or silica gel in cupboards.
- Regular Cleaning: Lasly, regular cleaning not only helps prevent mould growth but also ensures a hygienic living environment. If you spot mould, remove it immediately using home remedies to prevent it from spreading. For a quicker & more effective solution, consider seeking professional mould removal experts’ help.
