Many of us will strategically place furniture or other items in front of the mould stains on walls in an attempt to cover them up. The problem with covering these stains is that that will prevent air from circulating them and will contribute to mould development. A better option is to move furniture away from areas that have been affected by mould so that air has enough space to freely circulate these areas and allow them to dry. 4. Do not leave wet laundry out in the rooms.
One of the most common mistakes you can make that will help mould and mildew and bad smells develop is leaving wet clothes out to dry after you have taken out a fresh batch of laundry. This easily helps mildew develop, prevents clothes from drying correctly and can leave an unpleasant and hard to deal with smell in your home.
