Manish Jain, IICRC trained and certified Water Restoration Expert and business owner of Ministry of Cleaning, has revealed his top five hacks to combat damp smells.
Baking soda naturally absorbs excess moisture and neutralises smells.
Mattresses, carpets, curtains and upholstery should be cleaned regularly to remove lingering smells, excess moisture and bacteria.
Even doing it for 10 minutes a day has been proven to reduce moisture in the air and therefore minimise the risk of dampness and mould.
When showering or boiling food, keep doors shut and try to use an extractor fan or open a window to stop the steam from spreading.
