IF YOU ARE SEVERELY AFFECTED TO MOULDS: REMEMBER TO AIR AND VENTILATE WELL.
If you have intractable problems with damp or are in a very mouldy location, say near a river or canal, you may have to consider moving house to a drier situation. If you cannot move, or have very specific damp problems, you could consider using a dehumidifier to keep down humidity and mould levels. If you do use one, you need to take great care that the dehumidifier itself is not a source of moulds. Mould spores can grow on the inside, and in the collecting containers of dehu-midifiers; they are then blown back into the room with the drier air. If you use one, you must empty it frequently and keep it scrupulously clean, often wiping it down inside with a Borax solution.
If you have an intractably damp cellar, porch or cupboard, keep its door closed as much as possible, and seal it with draught-proofing material. Mould spores can seep through a house from such an isolated source, and opening a door frequently or leaving it open will blow moulds constantly through the house.
Moulds are found in house dust wherever it collects. Using filters on a vacuum cleaner can prevent moulds being dispersed around the room in the vacuum exhaust.
