Try to keep a constant low heat in your home, to avoid rapid temperature changes, especially in winter. Along with ventilation, this will help avoid moist air evaporating and turning into condensation.

When cooking, use lids on your pans. Turn on an extractor fan if you have one and open a window to let the moisture out.

When taking a bath or shower, leave an extractor fan on if you have one and leave the vents open on your windows.

After taking a hot bath or shower, open a window to let all the moist warm air out for at least half an hour, and close the bathroom door behind you.

Keeping internal doors closed when cooking or taking a bath or shower will stop moisture settling elsewhere in your home.

Move furniture and curtains away from walls and make sure that air vents are open to allow air to circulate.

Try to dry clothes outside if you can. If not, use clothes airers indoors and dry clothes in the bathroom with the window open and the bathroom door closed.

Avoid drying clothes on radiators. The moisture from your clothes will evaporate, creating more moist, warm air, leading to condensation.

Wipe down any surfaces whenever you see moisture to avoid mould growth.

Open windows every day for a few minutes to give the moist, warm air a chance to escape. If you can’t open windows, you can use your window vents.
