Use Your Humidifier Settings To Combat Musty Odours In The Home 

Musty Home? Control Your Humidity!

Ever notice a musty smell in your Alberta home, especially in spring? That’s often a sign of too much moisture. With our changing seasons, managing indoor humidity is key for a comfortable and healthy home.

How to Control Home Humidity

  • Ventilate Properly: Good airflow helps. Make sure your home is well-ventilated, especially in areas prone to moisture like bathrooms and kitchens.
  • Consider a Dehumidifier: These appliances actively remove excess moisture from the air. Choose the right size and type for your needs (evaporative, ultrasonic, or steam-based).
  • Fix Moisture Issues Fast: Leaks, condensation, or dampness should be addressed immediately. Don’t let small problems turn into big ones!

Whole-Home Humidifier? Adjust It Seasonally!

If you have a whole-home humidifier connected to your furnace, it’s not a “set it and forget it” device. It has different settings for different times of the year.

  • Use Seasonal Settings: Your humidifier likely has a “WINTER” and “SUMMER” setting. Check the instructions and switch as the seasons change.
  • Lower in Winter: Why? To prevent condensation on your windows. This condensation can freeze, causing damage to window fittings, and melt, dripping onto your carpets.
  • Regular Cleaning is Key: Humidifiers can grow mold and bacteria if not maintained. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and filter replacement to keep your air healthy.

By actively managing your home’s humidity, you’ll improve indoor air quality, boost overall comfort, and banish those musty odors. Breathe easy

I had an appointment for cleaning my carpet last week, and Jason G. called me before coming in the appointed time. He had all necessary ancillaries to take care of my house clean and spotless as it was. Jason was very friendly, and thorough in cleaning the carpet, paying much attention to details and all nooks and corners of each room was cleaned. All the more, Jason G. was very gentle, smiling and explaining to me details as he was working on the carpet. I am extremely pleased with the way Jason rendered the service and would give 10 starts if that were available. Extremly happy and pleased. Thanks Jason G.
