How to dehumidify the damp first floor

Today's cities are full of tall buildings and everyone lives in them. Although the conditions and environment have improved a lot, there are still some troubles in life. Many people who live on the first floor often feel that their homes are humid in the summer. When summer comes, friends who live on the first floor should pay attention to preventing moisture. After all, when the home is too humid, it will cause some harm to your health.

If the room on the first floor is too humid, you need to close the doors and windows facing the wind (usually south) to prevent the humid water vapor outside from entering the room. When the weather is clear, open all the doors and windows to allow ventilation and light in the room, so that the air can circulate and accelerate the evaporation of moisture.

Using quicklime to absorb moisture

Wrap quicklime in paper or cloth bags, and place them under the bed and in corners. This will effectively dehumidify and make the air in the room drier.

Using sawdust to absorb water

If the corridors and aisles in public places are seriously damp, you can sprinkle some sawdust or rice husks, which can quickly absorb moisture and prevent pedestrians from slipping.

Try not to leave raincoats, umbrellas and washed clothes that are wet by rain indoors. In addition, it is best to put a mat at the door and wipe the soles of your shoes dry when entering and leaving to reduce moisture in the room.

Use a Dehumidifier

When choosing a dehumidifier, it is best to choose according to the size of the room. If the room is too large, the dehumidification effect will not be obvious.

Air conditioning dehumidification

Most air conditioners now have a dehumidification mode. When turned on, it can effectively solve the problem of humidity in the room during rainy periods, and can also provide all-round protection for "moisture-afraid" home appliances such as televisions and computers.

1. For areas with long-term humidity, you can consider placing charcoal in the room or laying a layer of bamboo charcoal under the floor. This can have a good effect on balancing the humidity in the room, preventing and controlling dust mites, and purifying the air.

2. For friends living in rooms on the first floor, it is best not to keep anything indoors (flowers, birds, fish, etc.), especially fish and various plants (including cacti), as this will increase the humidity in the room.

3. In addition, if it is humid, we must also pay attention to the moisture-proof of electrical appliances. If the appliances are not in use, the power supply must be unplugged and they must be sealed well. When using them, take them out to dry in the sun or blow them with a hair dryer. If they are still in use, then keep using them once a day and do not leave them unused for a long time.

4. To remove moisture from clothes and shoes, we can buy some things that prevent moisture, such as mothballs. We can use them to keep our clothes and shoes from getting damp.
