Hi all who are experiencing heavy rainfall. Here is some expert advice from yours truly, expert at cleaning and mould avoidance.
Please please take note. PREVENTION is better than cure.
If you still have power and you value your health and your household items you must do everything you can to circulate and dry the air. SHUT windows in the rain. Run DEHUMIDIFIERS, AIR CON, FANS, light the FIRE, whatever you have at your disposal. The power cost is minimal compared to the heartbreak of ditching half of what you own or living with compromised health due to mould in your house. Ziplock bags/space bags/storage tubs are great provided you put silica gel sachets inside with your belongings. I recommend ordering bulk if you can. I order from silica gel direct. I have large sachets in all my wardrobes and cupboards and smaller ones in every drawer, storage tub etc. Small ones come in your vitamin pill bottles and shoe boxes etc. There's a reason for that. Keep them and use them too.
Go well! Sometimes I have the silica gel sachets in stock if you'd like smaller quantities.
Mould remediation can cost at least $400 per room.
While I often assist people to get strategies in place to reduce mould I do not do full mould remediation services. It's no good for my health.
Take care people. Do your best and hope you're getting through this time ok.
Reach out if you're local and need assistance. Praying you all stay safe π
