The new year has arrived and if there's one thing we don't want to deal with this year, it's mould.

That's the right, the winter months are not just known for bringing with them freezing temperatures and dark skies, they're known for causing an increase in mould and condensation in our homes, leading to damp air, smelly clothes and, in some cases, health problems.

The solution? A dehumidifier.

Designed to remove excess water in the air and, by doing so, reduce pollutants, damp and allergens, they can also help speed up laundry drying times by drawing moisture from wet washing draped over the likes of bannisters, radiators, clothes airers and chairs, while eliminating odours and preventing the growth of mould and mildew.
