✅ 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
