🍂 A little October reminder during Damp and Mould Action and Awareness Week
As the days get colder and we start putting the heating on, it's also the time of year when condensation can creep into our homes.
A few small things can help keep your flat feeling fresh and comfortable:
🏡 Open windows for a short time each day to let fresh air circulate.
💨 Use extractor fans when cooking and showering, and keep window vents clear and open.
🧺 Try to dry washing outdoors where possible, or somewhere well ventilated.
🪟 Wipe away condensation from windows when it builds up.
And one important thing: if you notice persistent damp, mould, a leak or a problem with your heating or ventilation, please let your letting agent or landlord know. These things shouldn't be left to get worse.
Older Edinburgh tenements have plenty of character, but they need a little care as the seasons change!
Stay cosy, everyone. ❤️
