Monsoon Care: what our team uses and why
From June to October, Mumbai humidity often stays above 80%. Moisture absorbers in every wardrobe, a dehumidifier for closed rooms and an indoor-safe anti-fungal spray prevent most monsoon damage.

Buying checklist
What to look for before you buy, from professionals who use these every day.
| Product | What to look for | Our team's tip |
|---|---|---|
| Dehumidifiers | Sized to the room in sq ft, auto shut-off, washable filter | Run it with doors and windows closed for best results. |
| Moisture absorbers | Refillable boxes or hanging bags for wardrobes | Change them monthly; a full box does nothing. |
| Anti-fungal sprays | Labelled safe for indoor use, low odour | Clean the mould first, then spray to stop it returning. |
| Waterproof storage boxes | Airtight lids, clear sides | Keep documents and albums in these, off the floor. |
| Drying racks | Foldable, stainless steel, fits a balcony or bathroom | Dry clothes near a fan, not inside a closed room. |
