Summer in Baltimore is beautiful—but with its beauty comes intense humidity that can take a toll on your home. Excess moisture in the air encourages mold growth, dust mite activity, musty odors, and overall discomfort. At Cornerstone Cleaning, MD, we understand the unique challenges of keeping homes in the Baltimore area clean and fresh during the warmer months. That’s why we’ve put together this guide to help you beat the humidity and maintain a healthier, more inviting living space.

1. Control Moisture at the Source

   Humidity often creeps in from basements, bathrooms, and kitchens. Combat this by: 

   • Using dehumidifiers in high-moisture areas like basements and laundry rooms. 
   • Installing exhaust fans in bathrooms and using them during and after showers. 
   • Fixing leaks quickly, whether under the sink or in the roof, to prevent mold-friendly damp spots. 

2. Deep Clean Soft Surfaces

   Humidity makes it easier for allergens like dust mites, pet dander, and mildew to thrive in soft surfaces. To stay ahead: 

   • Vacuum carpets and upholstery weekly with HEPA-filtered equipment. 
   • Schedule professional carpet or upholstery cleaning to remove embedded allergens and refresh fibers. 
   • Wash curtains and clean area rugs more frequently during humid months. 

3. Keep Air Circulating

   Stagnant air leads to stagnant smells. Maximize airflow by: 

   • Using ceiling fans to keep air moving in living spaces. 
   • Opening windows strategically on less humid days to ventilate the home. 
   • Changing HVAC filters regularly to improve indoor air quality. 

4. Refresh Your Entryways

   Foot traffic during summer can drag in pollen, dirt, and moisture. 

   • Place doormats at all entrances, and clean them often. 
   • Wipe down door frames and handles, which tend to accumulate grime faster in the summer. 
   • Declutter entry areas to reduce dust and improve airflow. 

5. Disinfect High-Touch Surfaces

   Warm, damp air is a breeding ground for bacteria and viruses. Regularly sanitize: 

   • Light switches, remotes, countertops, and bathroom fixtures. 
   • Kitchen sponges and dishcloths—replace them often or run them through a disinfecting cycle.
