Low Tox Life 361. Alexx Stuart - Mould and Humidity FAQs
Not every mould situation is a massive problem or leads to complex chronic illness - the good news is there’s a lot you can do with a couple of tools and some literacy, to prevent mould in your home from causing symptoms or damaging soft furnishings. So, in this show, I answer some of the most common questions I’ve received heading into the humid season here in Australia and, in the show notes you have a tonne more resources to support you if you’re currently worried about mould affecting your home, possessions or health.
So in this show you’ll learn how to:
- Gauge humidity levels in your home
- Know when it’s time to crank your dehumidification strategy
- Know what types of units, size/how many you might need if your air management systems in your home don’t manage humidity effectively enough as they are.
- Know how to not be annoyed by noise or heat generated by dehumidifiers with a simple ‘where we are not’ strategy for rotation.
- Know how often you need to dehumidify
- Know what testing you can consider if you think your problem in the home is beyond humidity and you need to think about mould testing
- And a bonus given I’ve been asked so much lately: Healing from mould on a budget - practical things you can do!
Hope it’s helpful and any more questions, let’s keep the conversation going,
Alexx
