THE bedroom experts at Winstons Beds have revealed a game-changing hack to keep mould, condensation, and damp away.
Avoiding a damp living environment and saving cash
This clever trick will not only help you maintain your home in excellent condition but also save you money.
The health risks of damp
Having damp in your home not only makes it less pleasant to live in but can also lead to health problems.
The experts' advice
According to the experts, to avoid these issues, you must switch off your heating and radiators at night.
Winter weather and energy consumption
With the cold weather upon us and the Met Office warning of 80mph winds set to hit the entire country, it may be tempting to turn up the heating.
However, keeping the heating on overnight not only increases your energy bill but can also cause unpleasant symptoms such as coughs, a stuffy nose, and foot swelling.
The risk of mould formation
Leaving the heating on overnight increases the risk of mould forming on the walls due to trapped moisture in the air.
The optimum temperature for bedrooms
According to the experts, bedrooms should have an optimum temperature of between 17 to 19ºC.
Rebecca Swain, mattress expert from Winstons Beds, advises against keeping the heating on throughout the entire night, as higher temperatures can result in dry skin, coughing, sneezing, and even mould growth.
