Morning people. Quick one. We live in a rental that’s over 100 years old and hasn’t had any investment since Harold Wilson took office.
We’ve noticed a few spots of mould around the windows and I’d like to know if there’s anything we can do at the tenant level to combat this?
Thanks.
Sounds like you are lucky if you only have a little around the windows in this country.
You can run dehumidifiers in that room to try and suck out some of the ever present moisture during the winter and keep on top of wiping down the windows to remove condensation, particularly in the mornings if it is the room you sleep in.
You can also get those absorbant “dehumidifier” things that will collect and absorb some of the moisture but really it is a losing battle that you just have to try and fight as best you can I have found. You’ll never win xD
This is really good advice. We have to do this every year as well. I would add that if you can air the room / flat out for an hour in the morning to let the air circulate that would be good as well. Easier said than done when it gets colder and rainy though.
Ah yeah, good addition. We open our bedroom window as soon as we get up and will often shut that room off to its own cold existence for at least half the day as that is our worst room.
