TOP 5 TIPS TO FIGHTING THE DAMP

Before it rains

• Ensure all drains and gutters are clear so water can flow away quickly
• Mow lawns and trim hedges so they don't get out of control
• Make sue you bring anything inside that is not weather proof.

While it's raining

• Leave fans / air conditioning running
• Put a bowl of raw rice out, this will help soak up the moisture in the air
• Use the clothes dryer
• Monitor pool water, may need to empty some water out
• Follow CQ flood updates and Livingstone Shire Council Facebook pages for road closures and warning updates
• Monitor the weather on B.O.M

When the sun comes out

• Open every window and let the fresh air in
• You may need to mow again
• Catch up on washing
• It might sound harsh but bleach is great to remove mould
