Supermarket chain ASDA is selling a pot for just £1 that will keep the home free from dampness and mould. It could be particularly useful for homeowners who dry their clothing inside as experts have warned this could cause mould to grow without being visible.
Jenny Turner, Property Manager at Insulation Express, said that drying wet clothes in the house can cause the moisture to evaporate into the ceilings and walls which can make existing mould problems worse.
Speaking with Hull Live, she said: "To minimise the risk of mould developing when drying wet clothes at home, always keep a window open in the room to allow excess moisture in the air to escape. As mould and mildew can quickly build up on walls and ceilings, a further way to prevent this from happening when skipping the tumble drier is to opt for a dehumidifier.
