If you own a vacation or second home, this time of year is often the cut-off point for use and many will be closing these properties down for the winter. However, leaving tours unheated can lead to mold.
A major challenge with leaving a vacation home unattended for many months is the natural fluctuations in temperature and humidity, which can lead to household mold growth. Leaving the heating on to counter this is usually unfeasible for financial and safety reasons, and leaving windows open for air circulation risky.
