✅ Daily & Weekly Mould Prevention Tips for Dunboyne Homes

Use extractor fans – every time you cook or shower. If you don’t have them, open a window slightly.
Open windows daily – even in winter. Just 10–15 minutes helps reduce humidity.
Wipe down condensation – especially windows and sills in the morning.
Keep furniture 5cm away from walls – especially external walls.
Dry laundry in ventilated rooms – or use a dehumidifier to prevent moisture buildup.
Keep blinds and curtains open – let air move freely across window surfaces.
Inspect ceilings and corners monthly – mould often starts subtly.

Why Is Mould So Common in Dunboyne?

Modern homes in Dunboyne are:

Airtight
Well-insulated
Designed to retain heat

That’s great for energy bills — but bad for airflow. Without fresh air, moisture builds up, especially in winter.

The HSE warns that prolonged exposure to indoor mould can lead to:

Asthma flare-ups
Skin irritation
Sinus congestion
Sleep problems and fatigue
