Monsoon Dampness In Home Interiors

It’s the rainy season and the greenery catches your eye. Nature thrives everywhere…including your cupboard! As the humidity level rises your carpets, upholstery, walls, bed linen, wardrobes retain the moisture and dampness too. You can also notice mould formation in the un-aired cupboards. Here are few home care tips for the rainy season:

Dampness In Your Cupboard? Keep any of these inside to keep the moisture at bay.

• A saucer with cloves.
• A box with quicklime or a block of camphor is good too and besides it will also bring a tangy aroma to the closet.
• A jar full of salt.
• A jar full of charcoal briquettes or a coffee tin will keep dampness away.
• Keep away musty odors by placing perfumed bath salts in the bottom of the cupboard.

Dampness In The Room
Place a piece of camphor in the room. It will evaporate, leaving the room dry

Dampness In Your Bed?

The walls become practically damp during this season. It can be due to condensation or some leakage through the walls or ceiling.

• Place a silver foil over the damp area inside the room.
• If the side touching the wall is wet then the dampness comes from outside. Call for professional help. Identify the location of the leakage and water proof accordingly.
• Improve ventilation to stop condensation inside the room, for e.g. an extractor fan on the windows would be the solution.
