Keep your Home Free from Damp and Mould Leaflet

Removing Mould and Damp Leaflet

Removing Mould and Damp Leaflet

Damp can cause mould on walls and furniture and make window frames rot.

Damp cold housing encourages the growth of mould and mites, as mites feed on moulds and can increase the risk of respiratory illnesses in some people.

Some damp is caused by condensation. This leaflet explains how condensation forms and how you can keep it to a minimum, so reducing the risk of dampness and mould growth.

Click here to download our FREE Government leaflet to advise on damp and mould problems (pdf).

As mentioned in the Guardian

The file is less than 1 meg (approx. 15 seconds on Broadband) – you will require Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the file. Click HERE to download Adobe Reader if required.

Do you change your Cooker Hood Grease Filter Every 6 Months?

Cooker Hood Grease Filters work in two ways. Firstly they prevent a build up of grease in the cookerhood, reducing the risk of fire through fat build up and damage to the motor. In re-circulating hoods they stop grease particles being exhausted back into the kitchen.

Therefore it is important that they are changed on a regular basis.

Cooker Hood Grease Filters come in several mediums.

1. Does your cooker hood have ‘paper’ type grease filters?

The solution for paper type grease filters is our Cooker Hood Replacement Grease Filters.  Simply cut to size and replace. The unique saturation indicator lets you know when they need changing again.

 

 

 

2. Does your cooker hood have foam type grease filters?

You can either replace with another Foam Grease Filter or you can replace the foam filter with the paper type Cooker Hood Replacement Grease Filters. Simply cut to size.

 

 

 

 

3. Does your cooker hood have metal ‘mesh’ type grease filters?

The metal mesh type of grease filter ideally should be degreased every 6 months. These can be cleaned using HG Grease Away. Simply spray on and leave to work for a few minutes and rinse through with hot water.

The actual metal mesh filters only require replacing when damaged or missing.

Metal Mesh Filters can be expensive and difficult to source. If you do require replacement metal mesh filters please send us your Cooker Hood make and model number and we will get a price for you. You can contact us by clicking HERE.

4. Looking for a Eco-Friendly option?

The Eco-Fil Filter is made from recycled plastic bottles.

S

At the same time as changing the filter we would recommend de-greasing the surrouding area with HG Grease Away. You can even SAVE £1  on a bottle of HG Grease Away when purchasing any of our Cooker Hood Grease Filters.

Focus on Tumble Dryer Venting Solutions

It is the time of year again – cold, wet and damp. Drying clothes outdoors is becoming increasingly difficult. The Tumble Dryer is getting more and more use.

Venting the Tumble Dryer is really important.  If it is not vented to the outside it will cause condensation to build up in the house which will damage carpets, curtains, wallpaper etc and can cause potentially damaging black mould. Dryers situated in a garage or shed will cause items in there to rust. Obviously this is not ideal.


One solution is to hang the hose out of an open window – an open invitation to burglars!

Unlike really expensive Tumble Dryers that have built-in steam converters, most standard models are supplied with a vent hose of 4in* diameter, requiring a similar size hole to be made to your outside wall or a window left wide open.

*some dryers have a 3.5in Vent Hose – if you have a 3.5 inch hose you will need an Adapter.

We have two solutions from which to choose from:

1. You can buy our Tumble Dryer Vent Kit - a neat inexpensive solution. The only drawback being that it will require emptying and refilling on a regular basis and will need to be sited in a room with some ventilation.

2. The permanent solution is one of our Tumble Dryer Outdoor Vent Kits. These kits contain all you need to professionally vent the Tumble Dryer through the wall or a window. A little DIY experience is all that is required.

We also can supply various Tumble Dryer Vent Hoses in case you need a longer hose to relocate your Tumble Dryer.

See our Online Guide for more information.
