How to keep condensation at bay

• Open your windows daily and keep your property well ventilated to allow moist air to escape.

• Use extractor fans and open windows when using the kitchen or bathroom and close the doors to stop moisture going into other rooms.

• Leave a small gap between walls and furniture so that the air can flow around it.

• It is best to dry clothes outside but if you can’t, make sure it is done in a well ventilated room with an open window.

• Make sure airways are not blocked, such as chimneys and air bricks.

• Keep heating levels at a constant temperature, especially during the winter months.

For further advice on dealing with condensation, take a look at this downloadable leaflet by Leeds City Council.
