11 Japanese Rules Brits Break After 50 — That Cause "Old Person Smell"

I grew up in Kanazawa, one of the rainiest cities in Japan, where every home fights damp. Twenty years ago I moved to a Victorian terrace in Manchester. My first British winter brought condensation on the windows, black mould behind the wardrobe, and washing that never dried. So I fixed my British house the way my mother ran her Japanese one. Here I share the Japanese household rules that work in British homes: Damp, condensation and mould, handled properly Why homes (and people) start to smell, and simple fixes Drying washing indoors without the damp Staying warm without huge heating bills What to stop buying, and what to throw away Japan isn't perfect, and I love Britain. But some habits are worth borrowing. My full method for British homes is linked below. Please, start tonight. Kenji Mori is the voice of our Japanese Method series.
