Opening your windows regularly can help prevent mould build-up,
This is named the "stoffluften" trick which originates from Germany.
The term literally translates to "shock ventilation" and sees Germans often crack open windows to let stale air out and fresh, but cold, air in, even in the dead of winter.
Some experts say that you should do it twice a day - in the morning and before you go to bed.
Others have recommended the best time to open up all the windows and use the method is after performing a task like showering or cooking where humidity levels are at their highest.
Another way to tackle mould is making sure your extractor fans are working.
These are the fans you find in kitchens and bathrooms, and they help remove excess steam from the air and therefore prevent a build-up of condensation.
If you already have mould issues, there are ways to tackle it.
If left untreated, mould can pose a risk to vulnerable Brits with existing health problems like eczema or asthma.
Many experts say that bleach is all you need if you neither own nor want to buy specialised cleaning sprays and paints.
If using bleach, mix four parts of water with one part bleach.
You'll also need a stiff brush, a bucket of water with cloth, and another cloth for drying.
Apply your solution to the affected areas (including a few inches around visible mould to kill any mould not yet visible).
Scrub it firmly with a strong brush.
Wait for as long as possible or until the mould completely disappears from sight and rinse the treated areas thoroughly.
Pat dry the area and allow it to completely dry before moving any furniture or placing items in front of the area.
