How to dehumidify a room

The hot summer is here, and it is difficult to live without air conditioning. Some people stay indoors for a long time and rely on air conditioning to sustain life. However, if the air conditioner is turned on too much, it will cause indoor humidity. Indoor humidity can easily accumulate moisture in the human body, causing diseases such as arthritis and eczema. It can also make people feel tired and lack of energy. At this time, you need some tips to dehumidify the overly humid room.

1. For rooms with closed doors and windows, using desiccant can effectively dehumidify. Quicklime is an effective dehumidifier, but it can only be used once and is corrosive. If conditions permit, you can buy reusable desiccant, which can save costs and improve the effect. After use, you can dry it over fire or in the sun and continue to use it for dehumidification.

2. If conditions permit, install an air dehumidifier to dehumidify the room. Air dehumidifiers are divided into intelligent and non-intelligent types. Non-intelligent ones are cheap, but once turned on, they will keep working, which may cause the air in a closed room to be overly dry. Intelligent dehumidifiers can set the air humidity. Therefore, when using a non-intelligent machine, you must pay attention to turning it on and off in time. If you have sufficient financial resources, try to use an intelligent one.

3. If there is no dehumidifier or dehumidifier, you can use fine-pore sponge or thick cotton cloth and other highly absorbent fabrics, and spread them on the walls and floors where water is leaking badly. After a certain period of time, when the fabric is full of water, take it outdoors to wring it out and dry it, and then replace it with dry absorbent material.

4. For the plum rain season and summer rain tides, simple dehumidification is not a fundamental solution. As long as the humid air from outdoor enters the room, the room will continue to be humid. Therefore, in order to prevent the humidity caused by the climate, it is best to close the doors and windows during rainy days to reduce the convection of warm and humid air indoors and outdoors.

5. If the source of humid water vapor comes from indoors, try to tightly seal all open water containers to prevent water evaporation, and do not place any wet items indoors. If open water containers or wet items must be placed indoors, in order to reduce humidity, you can install an exhaust fan in the room to exhaust the humid air outdoors.
