What to know locally in Cape Town
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.
Why damp turns up 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.
Typical silica gel and desiccant packs requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: canisters in gun safes, camera cabinets and boxes of documents and keepsakes
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: packs left in a closed flat's safe or storage cupboard between tenants
- Warehouses, archives and storage: sachets in packaged stock and strips in containers and sealed bins
Local tips for Cape Town
Common here: damp winter homes, laundry drying, mould in rentals, dry storage in industrial parks. Ask each supplier about this: ask whether the supplier can deliver before the first cold spell and service it later. Where they work from: suppliers in Montague Gardens, Epping and Paarden Eiland; damp firms across the suburbs.
Sizes vary: sachets to container strips. Here, homeowners and tenants lead the requests, typically for canisters in gun safes, camera cabinets and boxes of documents and keepsakes. One local point to raise: local crews and couriers across the metro; winter is the busiest time to book.
