Nip Mould & Moisture In The Bud Early With An Air Purifier: <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nStart early and nip mould and moisture in the air from the get-go with the help of an air purifier. Our friends over at Harvey Norman Home Appliances have a whole guide<\/a> dedicated to the benefits of air purifiers, with these appliances trapping and removing air in your home from the get-go. Air is drawn in through the unit and then passed through a filter which captures all those nasty allergens and bacteria’s that might be floating around in the air at your place before returning the clean air to the room. We don\u2019t play favourites around here, so be sure to check out the full range on the Harvey Norman website here<\/a> or head in-store and let the experts do the talking and find you the best one for your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Break Out The Gloves For Some Good Old Fashioned Elbow Grease: <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nFancy gadgets will do the trick to prevent the mould, but if it has already taken over your house then it\u2019s time to break out the gloves and do a bit of scrubbing. According to NSW Health<\/a>, the best way to get rid of mould from most surfaces is with a mild detergent or vinegar diluted in a water solution. NSW Health recommends 4 parts vinegar to 1 part water. Now, you might be thinking \u201cWhat about bleach?\u201d And yes, that does work for mould that is not readily removed according to NSW Health but in some cases, it might have a less than desirable effect. According to Institute for Infectious Diseases Professor Dee Carter, who spoke to 7News<\/a>, it might cause the mould to grow as some mould strains may see it as a food source. Yeah, don’t worry, we’re grossed out too. Regardless of what happens make sure you\u2019re always be sure to wear safety protection and working in a well-ventilated area when trying this one out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/cms.star1045.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Getty-Person-Cleaning-Mould.jpg\")

Remove Moisture From The Air With A Dehumidifier: <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nDr Andrew Rochford<\/a> says one of the best ways to remove moisture from the air around your home is with dehumidifiers. Why? Well, because they extract the water from the air and reduce humidity in the air of course! But, there\u2019s a lot to consider when it comes to dehumidifiers. Luckily, for us, Harvey Norman Home Appliances<\/a> have a whole guide about what to think of when it comes to dehumidifiers, and there\u2019s a lot to think about. The team at Harvey Norman say to first consider the size of the room the dehumidifier will be in before picking the size of your own. They say to consider dehumidifiers with a constant drain function so it will save you from emptying you from constantly having to empty your dehumidifier. Oh, and the team at Harvey Norman also say to advise to consider ones with a humidistat so you can set it to keep your room at the desired temperature\/humidity. As for the best one? We\u2019ll leave that up to the experts at Harvey Norman Home Appliances so check out their options here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dry Your Clothes ASAP In A Dryer: <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe rain has been unrelenting for the past few weeks, which has left many houses across the region looking a bit like a laundromat with clothes hanging up left, right and centre throughout the house. So why not reclaim your home and get all the clothes back into the laundry by getting a dryer! Harvey Norman Home Appliances currently stock the Bosch 9kg Series 8 Heat Pump Dryer<\/a>, which will rid your home of the 10 million pieces of clothing scattered throughout it with the push of just one button (and get them dry of course).

This small but mighty machine packs a punch without making a dent in your budget thanks to its 8-star energy rating, which makes it the obvious economical choice for your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/cms.star1045.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Getty-Images-Person-Getting-Washing-Out-Of-Machine.jpg\")

Prevention Is Key:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThey say prevention is the key to any well-laid plan, so instead of neglecting that leaking pipe or ignoring the leaking dishwasher, it’s probably best to get it looked at and fixed. Why? Well, because it could be a hot spot for mould. In a piece for The Conversation<\/a>, University of Melbourne Professor of Social Epidemiology Rebecca Bentley said \u201cprevention is more efficient than removal\u201d so make sure you get your leaks \u2013 including in roofs, walls and plumbed appliances \u2013 looked at ASAP. But wait! There’s more because Professor Bentley also recommends making sure you use things like extractor fans when cooking and bathing and increase overall ventilation throughout your home. If you want to go one step further, then also clean the condensation from inside your windows as it builds up. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThis article is sponsored by Harvey Norman Home Appliances, Erina, Lake Haven and West Gosford.
