Table of Contents
Bangalore Monsoons Are Great- Until Your Walls Start Breathing
Ah, the monsoon. That blissful time when Bangalore cools down, plants perk up, and you finally get to wear that one cute jacket you own. But along with all that, enter: musty smells, moldy walls, damp furniture, and floors so slippery you might as well install a warning sign.
Let’s face it, your home needs more than just a casual wipe-down this season. It needs a deep, thorough, anti-fungal, mold-repelling cleanse. So, here’s your true substance, straight-talking deep cleaning checklist. You may want to bookmark it or screenshot it.
Spot & Stop Mold: Room by Room
Living Room: Mold’s Favorite Hangout
Where to look:
- Cushions, curtains, carpets- basically anything that absorbs moisture like a sponge.
- Sofas where you Netflix AND unknowingly cultivate spores.
What to Do:
- Vacuum and shampoo the sofa (yes, actually do it, don’t just throw a blanket over it)
- Steam clean curtains that haven’t seen a wash since 2019
- Disinfect remote controls and switchboards (germ fiesta right there)
- Use moisture absorbers in corners unless you like the smell of stale socks
- Keep furniture slightly away from the walls unless you want surprise mold behind it
Bedroom: Because a Musty Mattress is Just Not It
Where to look:
- Mattresses, pillows, and closets full of slightly damp regret.
What to Do:
- Sun-dry your mattress like your ancestors did. It still works
- Wash those sheets, blankets, and pillowcases (hot water, none of that cold water nonsense)
- Camphor balls or silica gel = mildew repellents that work like a charm
- Air out closets like it’s a weekly ritual (it should be)
- Don’t stuff your wardrobe like it’s a suitcase on a budget airline; airflow matters
Kitchen: Where Grease, Grime & Fungus Host a Potluck
Where to look:
- Cabinets, chimney, tile grout, and all the places you pretend not to see.
What to Do:
- Degrease chimney filters (yes, they’re clogged)
- Wipe inside cabinets with anti-fungal spray, especially under the sink
- Scrub that tile grout like your security deposit depends on it
- Check for leaks under the sink. That slow drip is not your friend
- Add baking soda sachets in corners to kill the “old lunchbox” smell
Bathroom: The Usual Suspect in Any Moisture Mystery
Where to look:
- Tiles, faucets, drains, and anything that’s always wet (aka 90% of it)
What to Do:
- Scrub floor and wall tiles like they owe you money
- De-limescale faucets. They’re not supposed to be white and crusty
- Deep clean drains
- Reseal shower corners so mold doesn’t redecorate for you
- Ventilate. Always. Open that door. Turn on the fan. Stop making it a sauna.
Balconies & Utility Spaces: The Mold Breeding Grounds You Forgot
Where to look:
- Slippery floors, laundry stations, and rusting racks.
What to Do:
- Power wash balcony floors like you’re on a renovation show
- Use rust-proof stands. You deserve more than flaky metal
- Stop leaving wet clothes out all night unless you enjoy a mildew perfume
- Clean the washing machine filter (Yes. It has one. Google it.)
- Dry out the utility area daily – no, really
Sneaky Spots Mold Loves
Walls, Ceilings & Corners: The Silent, Seeping Culprits
Where to look:
- That one weird patch on the ceiling that’s definitely getting bigger
What to Do:
- Hunt down damp spots like a detective with a vendetta
- Apply anti-fungal spray to suspicious corners
- Repaint with waterproof paint if things are looking blotchy
- Reseal cracked plaster, unless you want a leak AND a pest issue
- Don’t ignore bubbling paint. That needs work
Doors, Windows & Fixtures: Small Things, Big Leaks
Where to look:
- Rusty hinges, cracked seals, and moisture magnets
What to Do:
- Scrape off rust (vinegar + elbow grease = magic)
- Reseal window gaps unless you like indoor waterfalls
- Replace or dry door mats daily. Wet mats = bacteria buffet
- Tighten fixtures, because loose ones leak more than gossip
- Add weather strips where needed (they’re cheap, you’re welcome)
Bonus Tips:
- Dehumidifiers are your new best friend – especially in older homes with zero airflow.
- Camphor, baking soda, silica gel = natural moisture slayers
- Quick-dry mats > soggy towel mats that smell like wet dog
- Weekly inspections: under the sink, corners, and near windows. Set a reminder, no excuses.
