How to Keep Your Home Damp-Free This Winter

How to Keep Your Home Damp-Free This Winter

Know your enemy 
Damp loves cold, dark corners and steamed-up bathrooms. It usually pops up because of condensation, poor ventilation, or sneaky leaks. Spotting it early is the secret to keeping your home fresh and mould-free. 

Let the fresh air in 
Even a small amount of ventilation can significantly help. Crack a window, use extractor fans, and don’t block vents. Think of it as giving your walls a breath of fresh air - they’ll thank you! 

Keep moisture under control 
Hang washing in a ventilated room or, better yet, outside. Cover pots when cooking to keep the steam down, and if you notice the air feeling muggy, a small dehumidifier can work wonders. 

Heat smart, not just hot 
Switching your heating on and off creates cold spots where condensation loves to settle. Keep your place at a steady temperature - low and consistent works just fine. 

Check for leaks before they check you 
Gutters, pipes, window seals, they may seem minor, but small leaks can snowball into big damp problems. A quick inspection now saves headaches later. 

Moisture-absorbing heroes 
Pop a moisture trap or silica gel pack in cupboards and wardrobes. They’re like tiny guardians, keeping your clothes and belongings dry. 

Wipe, clean, repeat 
Give them a quick wipe now and then. Preventing mould is easier than scrubbing it off later! 

Damp doesn’t have to crash your winter vibes. With a few simple habits, you can enjoy a cosy, warm, and dry home all season long.
