I was feeling a bit antsy and there wasn't a thread yet at 22 past midnight.

Have a great day everyone. May you and the animals of the DT who like sunbathing get some sun.

Every morning I wipe down the windows with paper toweling to mop up the condensation.

For the windows covered by fly screen, I open them slightly and close off the room until the water has evaporated from that window.

So far, this has kept any mould issues at bay by being diligent and clearing the moisture away before mould can take hold.

Unfortunately in my area I can’t have the windows open or even open the blinds. I might give a regular wipe down though

[–] wscholermann@aussie.zone 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Hmm you can't have your windows open at all for any length of time?

[–] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No, I might open the back one for a short while due to the fence but my area is really rough.

[–] wscholermann@aussie.zone 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Hmm. Another option is to use a dehumidifier regularly.

If you can afford a dehumidifier melbsy, this is probably your best option
