How to Prevent Mould in Your Albufeira Holiday Rental

So, you've arrived in Albufeira, ready to finally chill out, but after the first day, you've started to notice something. Perhaps it's just a smell, or maybe you're allergic or have asthma. Or, worse, you actually see the blackness creeping across the walls, in the cabinets, or around the rooms.

Yes, it's mould, and it's growing fast. But don't panic, I'm here to help you get it under control. Even if you're only staying for one or two weeks, mould can become a real issue. So, how do you deal with it here in Albufeira? It's easier than you think, but you need to start acting now! Let's cover some free tricks you can try before you even think about opening your wallet.

1. Open Windows and Doors Regularly

Airflow is your best – and cheapest – friend. Albufeira can be quite breezy, so simply opening your windows and doors will help to carry away the fungal spores before they can settle and thrive in any damp areas. Aim for cross-ventilation whenever possible.

2. Keep Everything Dry

Albufeira is hot and has high humidity, making it an ideal environment for fungi to flourish if anything is left damp. Trust me, you don't want to feed the mould. Ensure you thoroughly dry everything: your beach towels, swimwear, and even shower mats.

3. Manage Moisture from Your Body and Belongings

You'll inevitably sweat, and your bedsheets might get damp. Change them frequently. If you have an en-suite bathroom, make sure your towels are dried thoroughly every day, not left hanging in a humid room. The same goes for your clothes – nothing wet should be left in a closed room. Never, ever.
