Condensation

7 January 2015

Condensation is caused by moisture in the air and lack of ventilation.  The following instructions will help improve condensation:

a. Leave windows open where possible

b. If you have UPVC windows put them on the latch in the locked position. This allows air to circulate while the window is still locked.

c. Velux windows - there is a vent in the top where the window opens, if you leave this vent open it should ventilate your room.

d. Avoid drying clothes and towels in the bedrooms

e. If windows become damp inside; wipe them down with a cloth

f. If mould appears; wipe away with a mixture of domestos or other bleach and water

g. Always wipe down shower cubicles and baths when you have finished and remove any water which may have gathered on the floor

h. Leave your heating on whenever possible

i. Extractor fans; never turn off the isolater switch in either the kitchen or bath/shower rooms. Extractors are installed to reduce condensation and they are very effective.
