How can you protect your home from mold?

💡 Follow these 7 best practices for a healthy, mold-free home:

1. Control humidity

• Use a hygrometer to maintain a humidity level between 40% and 60%.
• Fix water leaks promptly and check the roof, windows, and pipes for leaks.

2. Air out your home every day

• Open your windows for 10 to 15 minutes a day to refresh the air.
• Ventilate even more in the kitchen or bathroom.

3. Heat your rooms properly

• Maintain a temperature between 18°C and 20°C in living areas.
• Even rarely used rooms should be slightly heated to limit humidity.

4. Limit condensation

• Wipe down surfaces where water accumulates regularly.
• Use an exhaust fan while cooking and a fan after showering.

5. Avoid drying laundry indoors

• If necessary, ventilate the room well or use a dehumidifier.

6. Clean up stains as soon as they appear

• Mix white vinegar with water and apply directly to mold.

7. Improve your home’s insulation

• Good insulation limits thermal bridges and condensation.

In summary

By monitoring humidity, ventilating properly, and following these simple steps, you’ll protect your home and your health from mold.
