DON'T use kerosene room heaters if your home suffers from condensation, because they produce large quantities of water vapour. Insulation Roof insulation above the ceilings not only assists in keeping your home cool in summer but also keeps it warm during the winter. By allowing the ceilings to stay warmer in winter, they are much less likely to be affected by condensation and mould growth. A number of different types or roof insulation are available. Shop around to find out what will suit you best.
Thermal efficiency is indicated by 'R' ratings, the higher the better.
Look for an 'R' rating of at least 2.5, or even 3. Once you've conquered the problem of condensation, you can tackle the job of removing the mould. Test a small inconspicuous area first, to make certain the bleach solution will not cause any damage. Use one part of bleach to three parts of water. Be very careful to protect your skin, eyes, clothing, carpets and upholstery from any splashes.
