Can we reduce mold by opening the windows of the bedroom?

When you notice mold in your house, it's understood that you want to get rid of it as soon as possible. Therefore, you may be wondering if something as simple as opening the windows can help you to reduce mold in your house. The first thing to be noted is that generally, ventilating a room is mostly always going to help with the mold in your house. Also, opening the windows can definitely be very helpful for removing mold from the house. This is because you will not be getting as much extra moisture inside of your house when you have the windows open. Therefore, the mold will not have the environment to grow. Opening the window also likely won't do a lot for your mold if the case of it is possibly very severe. In this case, you will likely need some help from an expert to get rid of the mold inside your house.

Here are some more myths about reducing the molds over the internet

Keep the lid of the pan on while cooking.

Keeping the lids of the pans on may seem to make sense, but it won't stop mold. Of course, this is good advice. Maybe if you have mold in the kitchen, then it's not a bad idea. But most houses with mold have the problem elsewhere, so trying to trap condensation with pan lids will make just a small difference.

Open bedroom windows for 20 minutes in the morning

This also sounds like good advice, but in reality, it will make no major difference. Customers with condensation and mold mostly tell us that this is exactly what they do. But little and small fixes like this never work. Also, it breaks our golden rules for more help. A house needs gentle air movement all the time and not a quick blast of air in the morning. As well as depending on the time of year, it can let cold, drafty air in as well as unwanted visitors.

Don't hang washed clothes inside.

Another piece of advice or myth you can say. We hear this all the time, and it is great advice in the warmer spring as well as summer months. But this is the time of year when condensation and mold growth are not a problem at all. In the cooler winter months, it is not expected to expect tenants to hang their washing clothes outside. Therefore, this seems sensible advice, and it's not really practicable.

Purchase one or more dehumidifiers.

One more piece of advice that sounds very sensible, but it's not. Dehumidifiers reduce water from the air and will cure mold, won't they? You can read that dehumidifiers aren't a cure for condensation and mold in the house. A large proportion of the houses we see already have one or more dehumidifiers humming away in the background, and they still have mold problems in their house.

These were all the myths and nothing else! But getting the mold treated is very important for homeowners. To get the best professional help, book a call with our experts and get all the information you need about mold!
