Keep your Home Free from Damp and Mould Leaflet
Is your home damp?
Damp can cause mould on walls and furniture and make window frames rot. Damp cold housing encourages the growth of mould and mites, as mites feed on moulds and can increase the risk of respiratory illnesses in some people.
Some damp is caused by condensation. This leaflet explains how condensation forms and how you can keep it to a minimum, so reducing the risk of dampness and mould growth.

What is the Credit Card Security Code/Card Verification Value (CVV)? It's a unique 3-digit number printed on the back of your credit/debit card that helps us validate your purchase and protect against fraud. Since this isn't contained in the magnetic strip information, it doesn't get printed on sales receipts, so it's difficult for anyone other than the genuine cardholder to know it. It's sometimes referred to as the Card Security Code, the Personal Security Code or the Card Verification Value (CVV). Your order can't be fully processed without a valid Security Code. Once your order has been processed, your Security Code won't be held on file.
Can I buy your products in the shops? Homecare Essentials are an Independent Retailer. We supply products from many different manufacturers. Unfortunately we do not have access to information about who else these manufacturers supply.
