Preventing Mold Growth: The Right Way to Ventilate
One common cause is improper ventilation. Many people either ventilate too briefly or leave windows slightly open, mistakenly believing this allows for proper air exchange. However, this method is ineffective—it fails to remove humidity efficiently, cools down walls, and wastes energy.
The best solution? Smart ventilation. In moisture-prone areas like bathrooms, installing humidity-controlled extractors ensures excess moisture is removed automatically, preventing mold before it starts.
For general ventilation, it’s recommended to open multiple windows fully for 5 minutes, 2-3 times a day. This technique, known as shock ventilation, quickly replaces humid indoor air while preventing unnecessary heat loss, keeping your home dry, fresh, and energy-efficient.
