What are the best ways to dehumidify indoors?

As we all know, living in a relatively humid place for a long time has a great impact on physical health and can easily cause eczema and prickly heat rash. These diseases are easy to trigger, but difficult to cure as they recur. Unless the living environment is completely changed, the problem can be solved fundamentally. The most common dehumidification method is to open windows for ventilation frequently, dry bedding and pillowcases frequently, and buy some tools to remove moisture, so as to create a better living environment.

Dehumidification method 1: close the windows in the morning and evening

When the humid "return of the south wind" hits, everyone must remember to close the windows at home, especially the south and southeast windows, to prevent the moisture lurking outside from having any chance to sneak in. The most important time for moisture prevention is every morning and evening. The air humidity during these two periods is higher than at noon. If the doors and windows are not closed in time, water vapor will seriously penetrate into every corner of the home. In addition, if you feel that the closed doors and windows prevent indoor air from circulating, it is recommended that you open the windows for a short time at noon for ventilation.

Dehumidification method 2: Prevention first

It's rare that the sun is shining these days, so why not take this opportunity to put all the damp quilts and pillows in your home out in the sun to dry? The best way to prevent moisture and dehumidification is prevention. Generally speaking, home accessories such as quilts, pillows, and fabric sofa covers should be placed in the sun for a few hours after being used continuously for about a month. Because sunlight is the most environmentally friendly and effective disinfectant, it not only makes the quilt fluffy and soft, but also after being dried in the sun, the quilt will smell full of the warm fragrance of the sun, which will definitely give you a good night's sleep.

Dehumidification method three: hang desiccant

Nowadays, there are many desiccants in supermarkets that are specifically used for moisture prevention and dehumidification. The most common types are dehumidifying boxes and dehumidifying bags. Many moisture-absorbing boxes have various scents, such as lemon, lavender, sweet orange, etc., which can make the home full of fragrance. They are suitable for large spaces in daily life such as living rooms, rooms, bathrooms and kitchens. After using it for a period of time, you can take out the material in the moisture absorption box, buy bulk desiccant and put it in the box for reuse.

Dehumidification method 4: instrument method

Moisture-proof and dehumidification can also use technological means to mobilize all dehumidifying appliances in the home to reduce indoor air humidity. Nowadays, most air conditioners used in households have dehumidification functions. However, using air conditioning to adjust indoor air humidity is a slow process, usually taking two or three hours, and will make people indoors feel cold. If you are not satisfied with the dehumidification effect of the air conditioner, you may wish to go to the mall to buy a special dehumidification equipment, which will be effective faster but consumes relatively more electricity. In addition, the fan heaters that people use to keep warm in winter can also alleviate the indoor humidity to a certain extent, but the effective radiation range of the fan heater is small and cannot achieve an immediate dehumidification effect.

In addition, quicklime can be used to remove moisture from the home. 1 kg of quicklime can absorb about 0.3 kg of moisture in the air, which can be regarded as a good and simple adsorbent. Wrap quicklime in cloth or sacks and place them in various places in the room to keep the indoor air dry. Dehumidification bags made of absorbent resin and charcoal are more suitable for placement in smaller spaces. For example, a dehumidification bag can be hung in enclosed spaces such as wardrobes and shoe cabinets to expel moisture. In addition, making your own desiccant is also quite interesting. Put an appropriate amount of lime in a small cloth bag, tie it into a small bag and place it in various corners of the room. Lime itself has the function of absorbing moisture and can also reduce the humidity in the room. You can also burn a charcoal fire or put a stove indoors to raise the indoor temperature, preventing water vapor from condensing, thereby reducing indoor humidity, which is also a solution. However, you must pay attention to ventilation when doing this, otherwise the consequences will be serious.
