Must dos for monsoons

Use light cotton drapes instead of heavy fabrics that complement your wall paint colours. These will let maximum sunlight into the house, while also allowing in the breeze and cross ventilation.

Healthy Home paints – Ensure that you choose to paint with Low VOC and No Added Lead. This will greatly reduce the presence of lingering ‘freshly painted’ odour in the room. These odours are especially difficult to deal with in the Monsoons as odours take longer to dissipate during the monsoons and may result in allergic reactions and discomfort.

Ensure that electrical appliances like lamps and switches that are close to windows and doors are secured and kept dry.

Get a vibrant or funky doormat outside the house to keep out the mud and slush that this season will bring in.

You can also shield your home from the dampness of the weather with products such as Excel Rain Guard & WaterproofX.
