Keep Your Upholstery Mould-Free in Darwin
Wet Season!
Living in Darwin's tropical climate is a dream, but it can also be a challenge for your upholstery. To help you prevent mold in these conditions, here are some expert tips from K&N Carpet and Upholstery Services:
- Control Humidity: Humidity breeds mould. Invest in a dehumidifier, especially during the wet season, to keep the indoor humidity levels between 30-50%.
- Proper Ventilation: Ensure good airflow in your home. Open windows and use fans to keep the air circulating. This prevents moisture buildup.
- Regular Cleaning: Regularly clean your upholstery using a vacuum cleaner and mild detergent. Don't forget to dry it thoroughly after cleaning.
- Sunlight Exposure: Sunlight is a natural mold killer. Whenever possible, expose your upholstery to direct sunlight, especially after cleaning
- Keep Pets Away From Upholstery: By restricting their access, you minimise the introduction of external moisture, thus reducing the likelihood of mould growth.
- Avoid Overwatering Plants Indoors: Overwatering plants can increase indoor humidity. Be mindful of the moisture levels when gardening indoors.
- Immediate Drying: If your upholstery gets wet, act fast. Use towels to absorb excess moisture and place fans near the wet area for quick drying.
- Regular Professional Cleaning: Schedule professional upholstery cleaning at least once a year. Professionals have the right equipment to deep clean and ensure complete drying.
By following these tips, you can enjoy the beauty of your upholstery while keeping mould at bay, even in Darwin's humid weather. If you need expert cleaning services, remember, K&N Carpet and Upholstery Services is just a call away!
