London weather is unpredictable, especially with irregular rain spells! Sometimes the excess humidity can lead to a damp smell in your home and workspace. Here is a simple deep cleaning guide to get rid of the damp smell-

Remove any damp thing 

Exposed damp materials and fabrics can hold both spores and smell unless professionally handled. Leaking or condensing pipe can develop mildew, and you won’t even see the damage for months.

Find the source

If you find the cause early, the smell won’t become as severe as in case of delay. Check leaky pipes, faucets, taps, poor insulation, and areas with dense condensation. Also, have a look at clogged gutters as the building moisture leads to microbial growth. Inspect these areas regularly and clean them if required.

How to Remove Mouldy Odours Spreading through DIYs?

• Fill charcoal in an open jar and leave it near the source of the smell. Repeat this often.
• Boil lemons or lemon peels to cover the bad smell. Pour the mixture in a sprayer bottle when it cools down and spray it in your entire space.

To Remove the Damp Smell from a Room, Follow These Guidelines:

• If any of your clothing smells damp, wash it with a bit of vinegar mixed with your laundry detergent. Repeat it with bedding, curtains, pillows, etc.
• Infested walls should be treated with a mixture of water and baking soda.
• Scrub window sill with mould with a brush after applying a solution of bleach and lukewarm water.
• Check bathroom and kitchen sink grouts for mould and scrub.
• Add soda and run a few cycles for dishwashers and washing machines.

Tips to Keep The Damp Smell Away-

• Fresh air circulation and ventilation are essential for any home and office space.
• Air out cupboards, drawers and cabinets often.
• Wipe damp-exposed exteriors with a mix of water and bleach.
• Use air purifiers and dehumidifiers to stop condensation.
