With the arrival of autumn, windows are opened less often and indoor spaces become more prone to humidity and stale air. This creates ideal conditions for the formation of mold, which not only damages walls and furniture but can also affect respiratory health.
The first step to prevent the problem is to ensure a good air exchange, even during the cold months. Just a few minutes a day of controlled ventilation is enough to reduce the buildup of water vapor.
A key help comes from dehumidifiers, such as the Ariston Deos Evo 12, which help keep relative humidity below 60%, the ideal threshold to prevent the growth of fungi and bacteria.
It is also important to avoid drying laundry indoors without a dehumidifier, use extraction fans in the kitchen and bathroom if possible, air out after showering and while cooking, and check critical areas of the home such as corners and behind furniture.
Closing windows does not mean giving up on fresh air: with the right habits and targeted technological support, it is possible to spend the cold months in a comfortable and mold-free environment.
