High humidity levels in a property are one of the biggest contributing factors to mold growth. In order to prevent this problem from occurring, you should try to keep your indoor humidity as low as possible. We’ll give you our expert tips for lowering high indoor humidity below!

Take Cooler Showers

Everyone loves getting warm in the shower, but it’s one of the biggest contributing factors to indoor humidity. If you can, try to take showers at a cooler temperature. If you aren’t able to, use a bathroom fan or open an adjacent window to get the steam out quickly!

Give Your Rugs The Sniff Test

As high-quality as your rugs may be, they are capable of absorbing a ton of moisture. Give your rugs a sniff. If they smell musty or have a foul odor, it’s a good sign that you either need to clean them or get them replaced entirely.

Clean Your Gutters

As odd as it might sound, your gutters’ health contributes to how much humidity and moisture is indoors! Make sure you clean them regularly to prevent clogs and roof leaks.

Open Some Windows

No solution is more foolproof than opening the windows and letting moisture escape. It’s the quickest way to eliminate excess humidity.
