You can't get much sweeter than marmalade, and this is most likely the reason for both Dagna and her son's success, despite their differing strategies. The chance of mould developing is low because there's so much sugar to balance the bitterness of the orange peel, says Camilla Wynne, preserver and author of All That Crumbs Allow. Mould needs water to do its thing, and sugar binds to water.

Due to activities like cooking, bathing, laundering clothes and even just breathing, air inside the home contains a certain small percentage of water vapour. That's why we notice drops of water dribbling down our windows during the autumn and winter months. When the water vapour hits the windows, the cold surface turns the vapour into liquid water - what we know as condensation.

Being proactive about buying mould prevention products in summer allows for better pricing and availability when the colder months arrive, ensuring readiness for winter issues.
