Why Mold Explodes in Lebanese Homes Every Winter — And How to Stop It.
❄️ Winter Mold in Lebanon: Why It Explodes & How to Stop It Safely
Every winter in Lebanon, thousands of homes begin to experience the same hidden problem:
Black spots behind beds.
Musty smells in bedrooms.
Condensation dripping on windows.
Allergies and morning headaches.
This is winter mold — a seasonal problem made worse by Lebanon’s climate, building structure, and lifestyle during cold months.
As temperatures drop and homes remain closed, moisture becomes trapped indoors, creating the perfect breeding ground for mold. At Schtager Lebanon — Eco-Friendly Mold Remediation Experts Since 1992 — we treat winter mold every single day.
Today, we explain why mold gets worse in winter, how it affects your health, and the eco-friendly solutions Schtager Lebanon provides across Beirut and all regions.
🌧️ Why Mold Grows Faster in Lebanese Homes During Winter
1️⃣ Closed Windows = Zero Ventilation
In winter, most Lebanese households keep windows closed all day to conserve heat.
This traps humidity from:
- Showers
- Cooking
- Drying laundry indoors
- Breathing and sleeping
The moisture stays inside and settles on:
- Walls
- Ceilings
- Behind wardrobes
- Mattresses
- Window frames
Perfect environment for mold.
2️⃣ Concrete Walls Absorb Moisture
Lebanese buildings are mostly concrete.
Concrete absorbs humidity during the day and releases it when temperatures drop.
This triggers:
- Condensation
- Wall sweating
- Mold behind tightly placed furniture
3️⃣ Laundry Drying Indoors
During rainy cold weeks, laundry is often dried indoors.
This releases up to 2 liters of water into the air, fueling mold growth.
4️⃣ Bedroom Mold (The Silent Winter Problem)
When you sleep:
- Your body releases moisture
- Windows are closed
- Curtains trap humidity
This is why many clients report mold:
- Behind the bed
- On curtains
- On wardrobes
- On bedroom corners

Mold is not just cosmetic — it impacts your health, especially in winter.
