Cape Town notes on moisture & air supplies
Tubs and hanging bags are popular in wardrobes, cupboards and caravans through the Cape winter, and cheap humidity meters help tenants show a landlord how bad a room is. Silica gel suits goods packed for the port, and some households buy purifiers for dust, though they do not dry a damp wall. Anti-mould paint helps in bathrooms once the cause has been fixed.
Damp and humidity in Cape Town
Cape Town's winters, roughly May to August, are cool and wet, and many homes get damp and mould then. Old Victorian terraces in Woodstock and Salt River, Edwardian houses in Observatory and Claremont, cottages in Kenilworth and Newlands, and low-cost homes on the Cape Flats all hold moisture in cold, shut rooms. Drying washing indoors adds a lot of water vapour, and the south-easter is a summer wind, so winter windows often stay closed. Seafront flats in Sea Point and Bantry Bay get salt air. Industry in Paarden Eiland, Epping and Montague Gardens, plus the docks, needs dry storage, and the market is full of suppliers.
The requests we see from Cape Town usually come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: tubs in built-in cupboards, wardrobes and a spare room that stays shut
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: a tub in each cupboard of a flat that stands empty between tenants
- Warehouses, archives and storage: tubs on shelves for small stock lines, spare parts and boxed paper
