Mould can form in households where the heating is consistently left off, as it results from water failing to dry out properly, typically in spaces that are poorly ventilated or underheated. The process of leaving hot water radiators and central heating systems switched off increases the likelihood of these conditions occurring.
Damp areas fail to dry out as well in colder houses, so the best practice to avoid mould is to use heating systems to ensure the space is comfortably warm and properly ventilated.
