50 Word Tips

Mould on surfaces tends to emit a pattern that aids understanding “why there and not over there”? Spores are in the air all the time and they need a stable period to settle and develop hence, opening windows and doors across the property for a short time serves to break the cycle and reduce the outbreak potential.

Tip: Air ‘circulates’ a room with corners being less mobile hence spores tend to reside where its cooler and less disturbed leading to the patterns witnessed. Changing the air during the winter can enable drier air to enter and replace the wetter internal air.
