Condensation and mould on windows and doors
During cold weather, you might notice condensation forming at the bottom of your windows or external doors in the mornings. It’s a good idea to wipe away this moisture each day with a soft cloth or paper towel. Doing this will prevent mould from developing.
You might also see small patches of mould growing around the edges of your windows and doors. To remove this, we recommend wiping it with a paper towel and some multi-purpose surface spray. Dispose of the paper towel after wiping mould to avoid spreading mould spores.
Condensation and mould spores on a PVC window frame can be safely wiped away.
