Condensation advice

Tips to prevent condensation:

• Maintain the temperature in your home to the recommended level
• When filling a bath, run the cold water first, it will reduce steam by 90%.
• Avoid drying clothes on radiators and using unvented tumble dryers
• Ventilate your home all year round by opening windows and vents
• Make sure any extractor fans in your home are being used 
• Cook with pan lids on to prevent steam escaping
• Try crystal moisture traps, which can be bought cheaply 
• Open any vents in your windows and rooms to encourage airflow. Or keep your windows open for a brief period each day if you don’t have vents.
• Regularly wipe all cold and moistness from windows with some kitchen towel and make sure they are dry.
• Reduce the risk of mildew on clothes by allowing air to circulate. Never over fill wardrobes and cupboards as it restricts air circulation.
